The compiler's optimizer noted that the value of "r" was never used, and eliminated the operation.
And if the code isn't optimized, the compiler almost certainly produced a LOT more instructions than necessary to simply load a value from memory into a register.
Nevermind the time spend actually doing the rdtsc() routines themselves.

libcache(3) BSD Library Functions Manual libcache(3)
NAME
libcache -- the caching framework
SYNOPSIS
#include <cache.h>
DESCRIPTION
The libcache framework provides a facility for creating in memory data caches. Each cache is a mutable dictionary that associates values
with their keys. A cache limits the number of values it keeps according to available system memory and selects values to evict when the
limit is exceeded. Recently and frequently used values are less likely to be selected for eviction.
Cache keys and values should be cast as pointers. The framework provides a callback interface for supporting arbitrary types of keys and
values and implements callback functions for common types. See cache_callbacks(3) for more information.
Clients retrieve a value previously added to a cache using the value's key. When the client gets a value, the cache increments a reference
count on the value. When the client finishes with a value retrieved from a cache they must release the value back to the cache. Referenced
values are considered in use and will not be evicted. The cache may evict unreferenced values (e.g. to make room for other values or reduce
its size).
The number of values allowed in a cache at one time is managed by the cache framework. Cache size will grow when the system has available
memory and shrink under memory pressure.
Libcache is thread-safe. It is not safe to call back into the cache API from cache callback functions.
