It might be possible to build a new set of tests that we could perform.
That would have to be built into the buildfarm script, as the PL tests
were, but they were picked up pretty quickly by the community.
Unfortunately it doesn't sound like these would fit into the pg_regress
setup, so we'll have to devise a different test harness - probably not a
bad idea for automated performance testing anyway.
So the short answer is possibly "You build the tests and we'll run 'em."
