We had a similar discussion a while back for pybench. Consensus
then was to use the minimum as basis for benchmarking:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-June/065525.html

I had used the average before this discussion in pybench 1.0:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2001-November/001081.html

There are arguments both pro and con using min or avg values.

I'd suggest to display all values and base the findings on
all available values, rather than just one:
min, max, avg, median, stddev.
