Well, we don't know if those "slowest forks" are indeed the run-to-run
variance we need to capture in the results, or those are the outliers we
really need to filter. Therefore, JMH should not and would not filter.

I would suggest to disable any process that can affect benchmarks on
your target machine. This is a general environment setup step anyhow.
