Comment (by bgamari):

 > I'm not sure if only the 10m runtimes were large enough to be meaningful

 The benchmark when run against the `1m` input took less than 50
 milliseconds. I doubt that this is enough for the benchmark to get into
 enough of a steady-state to be representative of actual performance.
