DOH!. Yes....You're right I totally forgot about that. My apologies. I
believe though, that there is a HP testing lab that is somewhat like OSDL,
in that they offer OSS free services and many platforms to run on. (used to
be compaq's developer testdrive sort of program) I believe it still exists.

 From what I've seen, OSDL is only concerned with a very very small set
of platforms (Linux in a couple of configurations).

I've been on Compaq's testdrive boxes before -- very nice.  But I'm not
sure we want to use those for a testing platform.

More to the point, if OSDL benchmarks keep coming along we should have a
variety of PostgreSQL benchmarks to choose from.  Adding a regression
test for performance would be a wise thing to do, but will require
dedicated hardware for good numbers (especially if run nightly).

Thomas had a good start in mind.  Hopefully we can extend it a little
once it has been started.
