I quit all programs on my macOS machine and run the same script 5 times in a row. I get quite consistent results that are plus or minus 0.1 seconds usually. So I try to ensure nothing else is running. I have a dwarf script that loads 100 or so files with debug info (all .so files from a directory) and then sets a breakpoint by name and by file and line where the file is a header file, to ensure all line tables get checked.

  $ ~/Documents/src/lldb/svn/lldb/build/Release/lldb -o 'command script import dwarfperf.py' -o 'dwarfperf -d ~/Documents/143642775' -o q

This will load all files from "~/Documents/143642775" and then set breakpoints and it returns a time. These are all files with no accelerator tables to ensure the DWARF must be manually indexed.
