Part of the reason for releasing the buildfarm server code a few months 
ago (see <https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/server-code>) was to encourage 
development of a benchmark farm, amoong other offspring. But I haven't 
seen such an animal emerging.

Someone just needs to sit down and do it and present us with a fait
