Description

When using the --power flag I saw extremely bad decode speeds ~0.11tok/s.

I tried the extremely naive approach of having a warmup period in order to get a more reliable avg speed and a guard against outliers, which seemed to solve the issue.

This was from an m5 max 128gb `./ds4 -c 30000 --power 50`
```
