I see really insane outliers on some tests, some of the time, and this seems to kill the score on my platform (Firefox 122 on Linux x86_64).

As an example "NewsSite-Next" has 8 out of 9 repetitions between 215 and 236 ms, but 1 out of 9 (iteration 5) is 1884 ms. This is such a radical outlier I have trouble believing it could be a browser bug. Visually, the interface seems to get "hung" when switching between tests sometimes. I don't have a great explanation for that.

This specific issue in this case in with NewsSite-Next/NavigateToUS which reports a 144.5% variance as a result of this one outlier.

I see several others like this in the results, although none quite as extreme.
