CABAC has nothing to do with the feasability of a compression test.
While some filters can produce unpredictable changes in compressability, CABAC is very consistent at 10(+-3)% improvement.
And if you decide that the uncertaintly is too great, you don't have to disable CABAC in the test; it's only a small fraction of the encoding time.
