I'd already created 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Regression_Testing_with_pgbench for this 
purpose, and it looks like you started where I ended that, more or less, 
which is good because you didn't duplicate anything I'd already 
written.  I just recently finished a full exploration of how the 
multi-threaded pgbench ends up working in practice, and will 
update/merge those two as part of that once I get the full data 
published where people can look at it.  I've given up on expecting 
ad-hoc pgbench testing done without an extremely clear methodology to 
produce a lot of data, it's tough to get useful results out of that 
without a clear plan to follow for finding useful data points.
