It isn't perfect, and it does penalize LastPass's behaviour more due to its poor startup performance.

But I don't think it is entirely unrepresentative of real world performance.

If your hypothesis is correct — if you have LastPass installed, your pages are probably going to load slower and you'll experience a longer "uncanny valley". The tax paid is worse for pages that are otherwise lightweight.
