This isn't true - Benchmark.js will repeatedly rerun benchmarks until it gathers statistically meaningful results.

True, and there's actually nothing benchmark.js can do to ensure that doesn't happen in the general case but when this does happen the results are usually pretty obvious - we'd see billions of ops/sec. Incidentally the left-pad benchmarks do not suffer from this issue.
