You took 5% of the tx on two 12 hours runs, totaling say 85M tx on one
and 100M tx on the other, so you get 4.25M tx from the first and 5M from
the second.

I'm saying that the percentile should be computed on the largest one (5M),
so that you get a curve like the following, with both curve having the
same transaction density on the y axis, so the second one does not go up
to the top, reflecting that in this case less transactions where
processed.
