This is not that hard to find out yourself:
Just study the output od objdump -d and average the differences
of the first hex number in a line printed, which are followed by a ":"
e.g.
scripts/kconfig/mconf.o: file format elf32-i386
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <init_wsize>:
0: 83 ec 1c sub $0x1c,%esp
3: 8d 44 24 10 lea 0x10(%esp),%eax
7: 89 44 24 08 mov %eax,0x8(%esp)
so avg(3-7, 3-0) = 2.5
and so on...
Happy analyzing!

Ingo Oeser
