I've looked into it... I want to store the values though, and the histogram 
just keeps a count of how many are faster than a certain threshold.
It also calculates a quantile over the amount of values in these buckets, 
which is just an approximation and not an actual quantile based on the 
values.
In short, it doesn't seem that's what I need, as I also cannot figure out 
an accurate minimum and a maximum value.
