Why is it being hard-coded? I think it makes a lot more sense to allow
pg_bench options to be specified in the buildfarm config. Even better
yet would be specifying them on the command line, which would allow
members to run a more rigorous test once a day/week (I'm thinking one
that might take 30 minutes, which could well ferret out some issues that
a simple 5 minute test won't).
