You can land on a VM host that's busy or idle for longer than the benchmark runs, even if you run for hours.

- eigenspace 3y agoYeah of course. But that’d also be affect it if the benchmark was shorter and was re-run a hundred times. Though, granted in the case of re-running it you can do things like take the minimum or median time which are much better benchmark metrics, rather than the mean which is thrown off more by outliers and system noise. Definitely bot trying to defend this as a good benchmarking scheme.
