Nice, thanks!  Now the next problem: For the same commit IDs, I see
differences in percentage up to 47% in your HTML file!  This
essentially means that the delivered numbers are still completely
meaningless – the differences must be at most a few percent or even
smaller, given that the tests are run on exactly the same machine.

Please investigate how to improve that, probably by modifying the
benchmark test options, or probably even by implementing per-test
options so that the single tests can be fine-tuned.  Perhaps you
should do some internet research to find how other, similar benchmark
tests are constructed to get meaningful numbers.
