We really need a tinder box that runs benchmarks too.  It's too
frustrating to not touch my laptop for 10 minutes to run a
benchmark, and then repeat it 5 times to average, and then figure
out it was a debugging build, loop again.  And then see
regressions, figure out fontconfig from CVS is to blame,
uninstall, repeat, ...

It doesn't even have to be decent hardware, a Pentium III would
do it pretty good.  It just needs to not do anything else...
We can ask infrastructure-list, but maybe a company/university is
willing to set one up?
