System noise (timer interrupts, scheduling) can inflate the reported stddev. tcp-v4-syn showed stddev 37.86 ns without filtering vs 0.16 ns with filtering on the same run data. Filter samples outside [Q1 - 1.5*IQR, Q3 + 1.5*IQR] before computing statistics. Scenarios with genuinely wide distributions have large IQR so the fences stay wide and the filter has minimal effect.
