STINNER Victor added the comment:

The perf module displays the median rather than the mean (arithmeric average). The difference between median and mean is probably too subtle for most users :-/ The term "median" is also probably unknown by most users...

I chose to use average: well known, easy to understand (we learn the formula at school: sum/count).
