To make comparisons between different algorithms meaningful, we need to benchmark the exact same operations over and over. Use 100 deterministically random keys to even out key-to-key or sig-to-sig (for verification) differences

As the code isn't using constant-time algorithms, to make comparisons between different scalar multiplication algorithms meaningful, we need to benchmark the exact same operations (same private keys, same messages, and same nonces) over and over.
