So I collected data for 100,000 runs

delta = (abs(count - mean) / mean) * 100.0

sd is standard deviation

>>> shuffle.test(100000, 2)

(0, 1) count: 50127, delta: 0.3%

(1, 0) count: 49873, delta: 0.3%

mean: 50000.0, sd: 179.6, sd/mean 0.4%

>>> shuffle.test(100000, 3)

(0, 1, 2) count: 16873, delta: 1.2%

(0, 2, 1) count: 16506, delta: 1.0%

(1, 0, 2) count: 16667, delta: 0.0%

(1, 2, 0) count: 16761, delta: 0.6%

(2, 0, 1) count: 16498, delta: 1.0%

(2, 1, 0) count: 16695, delta: 0.2%

mean: 16666.7, sd: 146.0, sd/mean 0.9%
