Yes - it sounds like a nice mix between "median" and "mean". Mean, on
its own, is not a good measure of central tendency. Maybe the
"professionals" who do benchmarks should take a typical university
experimental methodology course. I don't think I've ever seen a
benchmark say that results are "statistically insignificant". (Not
talking about the original poster here.)
Personally, I'd be interested to see info about non-Blackdown free
JVMs. We don't hear too much about them on this list. That would
have been an interesting comparison.
