I've tested a scalar of about 50% 1s against a scalar with almost no 1s, measuring at the nanosecond resolution, with 100 samples each.
The p-value of the 2-sample T-test was greater than 1%--there's no evidence that one takes less time than the other. That can be replicated by playing with the benchmarks yourself. If you have any evidence to the contrary, I'd be happy to look at it.
