Yeah, that can be seen in the fact that chaos's std dev for pypy-c is not as
large as for pypy-c-jit, in fact it is perfectly normal.

Btw. for easily spotting big std dev values maybe they should be highlighted
in red. What would a maximum reasonable value for std dev would be (compared
to total time)?
