You said that it seems roughly related to system load so I think if
you can run you test on a machine that has only 1 user ( you ), no
network and no other factors that can affect your  ram usage and cpu
usage ( you can check it with top, observe what is going down and up
).

If 3 tests is not  enough then we can run 30 test ~ 2.5 munites, or
large number of sampling.
