So min is the fastest time in a benchmark execution, average is the average across all benchmark executions, and the t-value is some statistics thing. Anything marked insignificant had such a small average difference it isn't worth reporting. If you want to smooth out the numbers you should do a rigorous run that uses more loops per benchmark to help smooth out outliers. And if you are doing this on Linux there is a flag to measure memory usage as well.
