Well I don't know this particular benchmark so that's just a guess but 
maybe the variation is caused by the scheduler or by the GC.

Maybe it's possible to disable the GC to see if the variation is reduced?

As for taking the highest figure: if the variation is caused by process 
scheduling then it make sense to show the best performance as the result 
of the benchmark if you're trying to measure the runtime performance of 
your binary not the scheduler's performance..
