Comment (by vbraun):

 The even/odd values of k are main vs ticket?
 {{{
 Main:   0.65512 sec (25 samples, std_dev=0.00494)
 Ticket: 0.65906 sec (25 samples, std_dev=0.00382)
 }}}
 Just eyeballing things, they are within one standard deviation. So
 Student-t is about 3. Which makes it pretty unlikely.

 I think its dangerous to remove the top 15 values here, though. It makes
 the distribution artificially narrower, which inflates the t-value.

 Also, I was using the computer at the time and its possible that I did
 something that was periodic with the frequency of the tests. E.g. click on
 web links in a ~5 second rhythm. In other words, I'm not sure that it is
 valid to treat the samples as statistically independent. Its probably
 better to randomize which test counts as main and ticket for the startup.


 {{{
 With 70% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.5%
 With 75% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.47%
 With 90% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.36%
 With 95% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.29%
 With 99% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.17%
 With 99.7% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.1%
 With 99.9% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.035%
 }}}
 I'm a bit confused here. You can't be 100% sure that the startup time
 increased at all. Which statistical test is going on? (Yes I could read
 the source ;-)
