 One piece of the pie you're missing is the "empty loop" benchmark. 
 Suppose NEST, NEXT and FOR...NEXT take 19 seconds?  Then there would be 
 a massive difference between PUSH/POP and MOV. 

 I just use the Intel handbooks myself, but there are LOTS of books out 
 there on assembly programming for the 80x86 family.
