This benchmark figure is just an estimate at how long the stamp calculation might take. If the estimate says 30 seconds, the actual time could be anything between 10 seconds and a minute. The benchmark is just the mathematical average based on the 2^n bits calculation. It doesn't affect the actual stamp generation function.
