For something like this, you can just take several trials and look at the minimum observed time, which is when there will have been ~no interruptions.

You don't actually know that for sure. You have only placed a new upper bound.

No, it is a very practical one and I'm actually surprised that you don't see it that way. Benchmarking is hard, and if you don't understand the basics then you can easily measure nonsense.
