Title: Added c++ optimization and a script that runs the programs

The c++ code is now a tad faster, and I added a script that one runs in the following way:

$ python results.py all the arguments required to run a script

The script parses out the integer microseconds from split stdout and prints the basic statistics for a given run. Furthermore it also prints the total time it took to run a given program. If you want I can re run all the different programs, but if you have time, it would be nice to keep cpu/memory architectures and bandwidths the same.

To simplify this task I have added a gnu makefile which can be run in the following ways:

$ make -j12
$ make run # actually prints stats
$ make clean

This prints the results to the screen. If you would like I can adjust the output in results.py and the Makefile to dump the table format you have in README.md. Just lemme know.

With love in Christ Jesus,
