Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (WavPack Audio Encoding 5.7 - WAV To WavPack) has an average run-time of 4 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 5 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.3%.
