perftest VIEW appears to have a lot of noise https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/perf-frontend-issues/issues/199. As a comparison point, I wrote a proof of concept that measures a similar duration without the perftest harness and browsertime. Preliminary results show significantly less noise so let's actually land something a little cleaner in tree.
Ideally, we'd land this as a new perftest but it seems like a lot of work so we'll do something more lightweight for now.
