A related situation I was in recently was where I was trying to bisect a perf regression, but the benchmarks themselves were quite noisy, making it hard to tell whether I was looking at a "good" vs "bad" commit without repeated trials (in practice I just did repeats).
I could pick a threshold and use bayesect as described, but that involves throwing away information. How hard would it be to generalize this to let me plug in a raw benchmark score at each step?
