+1.  I've lost count of how often I've had to drill down to an individual
run just because I wanted to see how long it took.  If we could fit that
into the branch history pages like

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=jay&br=HEAD

it'd be really useful IMO.

Perhaps we could replace "OK" with the total time, so as to avoid making
these tables bigger?  (This presumes that the time for a failed run isn't
so interesting.)
