The times in the logfile (last I checked) are only accurate
to 1 second. That gives a maximum possible error of 1.99
seconds. Most of the tested times were around 60 seconds, so
a 2 second error translates into a +/- 3% margin of error.
And that's before you take into account error due to lag.

I suppose you could just leave it running for 5-10 minutes,
but that would mean it'd take me several hours to do the 20-30
different tests.
