A minor thing - you might consider also calculating the median 
and median version of MAD (median of absolute deviations from the 
median). The reason is that benchmarks often have outliers in the 
max time dimension, median will do a job reducing the effect of 
those outliers than mean. Your benchmark code could publish both 
forms.
