Re: [PATCH 3/5] Run the perf test suite for profile feedback too

Open: If the perf test suite is representative enough it may
be reasonable to only run that and skip the much longer full
test suite. Thoughts?

I do not think it right now is representative, nor it was meant to
become so.  The operations are those that people cared about and
tuned, and hopefully it would cover stuff actual end users care
about in the real life, though.

I ended up answering the question by creating two separate 
makefile targets in the next patch.

profile to run the full test suite and profile-fast to run
only the performance test. profile-fast as the name implies
is a lot faster to build, and fast enough that it's not 
annoying.

I'll remove the "Open"
