Silca Super Pista owners: How many PSI per stroke?

When the pump head is properly seated on a presta valve, how many psi per stroke are you getting? How many strokes does it take you to pump from 0 to 100 psi on a 700x23 tire for example?

I'm getting about 2.5 psi per stroke on the Super Pista I just purchased and trying to figure out if that's a low figure. I've heard Silca pumps are "fast" (less strokes to reach inflation) and if maintained, last a long time.

EDIT: How many FULL strokes does it take you to pump from 0 to 100 psi on a 700x23 tire? I acknowledge that psi per stroke will change during inflation. The 2.5 psi per stroke was figured when I went from 80 to 100 psi in 8 full strokes.
