From the concurrent prime sieve example? That's just something I copy and pasted from the documentation for the benchmark package I used. Allegedly, it is to prevent "certain compiler optimisations", which is something I'm familiar with when it comes to benchmarking Go code, for example. I lack specific knowledge as to whether it's actually necessary, sorry :)
