Improving the docs would be fantastic! If you have the time maybe you can take a stab at it?

I don't think there is a canonical solution.

In BenchmarkTools GC time is always printed as a ratio. That's why we do `gcratio(maximum(trial))`. So yes the fact that we say the "maximum GC" is `0.0%` is confusing See...

This is where `@benchmark` gives you a bit more info: ``` julia> function dosomething() count[] += 1 sleep(1) end dosomething (generic function with 1 method) julia> count = Ref(0) Base.RefValue{Int64}(0)...

For a description of the tuning process see https://github.com/JuliaCI/BenchmarkTools.jl/blob/58af70428fbcbe4862453ddf135907ddc2032862/src/execution.jl#L151 or see the code at https://github.com/JuliaCI/BenchmarkTools.jl/blob/58af70428fbcbe4862453ddf135907ddc2032862/src/execution.jl#L135 The tuning phase ignores `samples` and uses the full...

That sounds like a nice addition!

Probably depends on what Font your browser defaults to, since for me https://github.com/JuliaCI/BenchmarkTools.jl/pull/243#discussion_r688361580 is misaligned.

Still an issue the text example in #260 looks like:  On Firefox+Linux (and also Slack I think)

Yeah we should no longer get these from Julia normally, but of course most other LLVM are not hardened and I don't know how weak symbols will play with it
