   > An earlier set of four runs on the same machine produced -50.0% and 
-166.7%, so the tool reports both improvements and regressions where nothing 
changed (it failed AA testing, basically).
   
   Is that too bad though? it's not like we are enforcing some specific 
benchmark numbers in the CI, users of the `dfbench statistics` cli can always 
apply some critical judgement when interpreting the stdout, same as with normal 
benchmarks, where there's always some small variability in two identical runs.
   
   Do you foresee other places where reporting might be non-deterministic?
   
   If It was just me using the tool, I think I could live with it being 
non-deterministic for certain operators, but in case other people don't, 
something that comes to mind is to add a new cli argument for skipping certain 
operators from the comparison. Something like: `--skip SortExec(TopK)`.
