Google searches are likely negatively skewed, because most population are likely to do similar searches, additionally Google would optimize the common queries with caching. So median will be smaller than mean.

To get to the exacts on how much smaller, we should graph a histogram of #queries vs response_time, and... (this could become a more rigorous analytical question).
