Ah, I didn't want to download the full 90 MBs graph data again to 
see it.  Yes, I see it now.

Seems pretty stable to me, almost as much as file size even, 
which is surprising.  I did note that you'd have to be careful to 
measure it on a relatively unloaded machine and average multiple 
runs, but I don't see why it couldn't be done.  There is some 
variability on some of those, but as long as you didn't overreact 
on small changes and maybe compared one PR's results to averaged 
past data, ie over multiple PRs, as the baseline, it should work.
