That is correct, I didn't really have a preference for the order so I
went for simpler is better.

I agree that the order suggested by Bruce looks better. Having seen
more measurements I'd have to say that the histogram is mostly
useless. It seems to me that it mostly shows OS scheduling noise. I
would even say that the histogram output should be hidden behind an
command line option to avoid unnecessary confusion.
