It's expected that the estimates will change with this patch. But I am
wondering why should actual times vary so much. May be that's just
accidental. Butthe actual timings are consistently lower with the
patch except the last one

The actual time has increased even though estimation is correct.
Those differences may just vanish if we take average of multiple runs
and are not that important to ponder about.
