You want a probability distribution of the time it takes to do an
operation?

You might look at the docs for Haskell's Criterion benchmarking library:

  http://www.serpentine.com/criterion/tutorial.html

You presumably won't be able to use it directly (unless you're coding in
Haskell), and lots of the doc is very Haskell-specific, but it can give
you an idea of how a fancy package of this sort goes about things.
