Yes, Criterion always discards the time of the first evaluation.

So the evaluation will be included in the benchmark, but if "bench" is doing enough trials it will be statistical noise. When I intentionally delayed my dataBuild function (using delayThread 1000000) the estimated time of benchmark was incorrect, but when I got the final results all runs were below 50ms, which means that initial run that took 1 second was discarded. So it seems to me that the first evaluation is discarded. Would be good if someone could definitely confirm that.
