That would include changing settings. Taking a plugin's size from the audio buffer is exactly the opposite of trying to get an accurate benchmark (by the way, I doubt it's 512 bytes, it may not use the whole 512 kilobytes of the plugin buffer but that sounds extremely small). I mean all you'd be doing by moving the battery bench into the audio buffer would be making it even easier to create inaccurate battery benches, because they start of biased slightly toward a worse time than you'll normally see.
