In statistics mu is often used to describe the average, sigma the 
standard deviation and sigma^2 the variance. It was absolutely 
unnecessary to use this notation here (especially because 
standard deviation, not variance was measured). I fixed that and 
also added how many samples were generated per run (10M), thanks!
Btw in case you didn't find the link within the article, the 
benchmark is available within Mir:
