Std deviation also matters:
Std dev shows that runs of Prog2 have more error
so its measurements can't be trusted/more/ than Prog1.
The sample also is too small for meaningful statistics;)
Exactly, the variance too. Many things matter.
My example shows only that AVG estimation is better than MIN in the simple technical test with 10 runs because of average the runtime "noise". I suppose it could be approved more strictly.
