Sort-of reverting #52 because our samples are not normally distributed, the calculated stddev is super high.

This PR tests the ratio between medians with a fixed rate (20%) again.

But! In #52 I added some nice things:

  • Tuning the benchmark before running it (this reduces spread)
  • Using the tuned parameters from one benchmark for the other, for a fair comparison.
  • Learned that median is more stable against outliers than mean

So this should still be more stable than before #52!
