Total cycles in software pipelining info

Hi,

I am optimizing my code for speed using -o2 switch, I also used -os to generate optimized source interlist assembly and -mw option to generate verbose software pipelining information. In .asm file generated by compiler, what does total cycle est means? Like in my .asm file i get this for one of the functions:

" Total cycles (est.)         : 6 + min_trip_cnt * 5 = 1286"  , is it the  total no of cycles consumed by the function?

Regards
