Stefan Behnel added the comment:

I'm actually not sure how it relates to the minimum. The more runs you have, 
the higher the chance of hitting the actual minimum at least once. And if none 
of the runs hits the real minimum, you're simply out of luck.

However, it should tend to give a much better result than the (currently 
printed) average, which suffers from outliers. And outliers are almost always 
too high for benchmarks and never too low, due to various external influences.
