Yes, this is really strange. I couldn't find a pattern at all as well.
Do you have any example of piglit helping randomization?

The bad things with residency check is that vlv/chv doesn't have
performance counters.
So this test would just work on hsw/bdw/

I did this work on a HSW. Test on BDW is one of tests I should do next here.

Yeah, this wasn't designed to exit and get back so often.
Also the disable sequece by spec says we have to disable, wait for a
vblank, than disable vsc.
I tried that and the results got even worse.
Another idea was to use srd_debug register to force exit and normal
opperation instead of disabled and reenable constantly as Ville also
suggested, but my tests with this approach didn't go anywhere...
