Good point. My assumption when I wrote the code was that the testFn routines were going to be fairly expensive, so benchmark_routine wasn't unacceptable overhead.

I should have written separate test and benchmark routines, rather than let the benchmark run and check my test cases.

Re-running the tests with the 1..20 fix you suggested does alter the percentages between tests, but doesn't change the relative rankings much.
