Automated performance testing seems like a bad idea for the buildfarm.  
Consider in my particular case I've got three members that all happen to 
be running in virtual machines on the same host.  What virtualization does 
for performance and what happens when all three members are running at the 
same time renders any results beyond useless.  Certainly soliciting the 
pgbuildfarm-members@pgfoundry.org list is good idea, but I don't think 
automating this testing is a good idea without more knowledge of the 
machines and their other workloads.
