 Not as comparison with FreeBSD but ideas for
 tracking FreeBSD performance across release/releng.

 Provided the version of the unit test is kept the
 same and it compiles across all FreeBSD release/releng
 since 2.x, automating like this shouldn't be hard.
 
 Natively release install [or selfhost build releng
 on top], and archive the base platforms once. Copy
 over to a test disk and reboot it natively on
 demand, insert each unit test module as desired,
 record data, copy disk and boot next version, etc...

I actually developed something like this for FreeBSD two years ago. Included 
were build scripts for producing releases, a description of setting up 
netbooting slaves, a small collection of benchmarks, a database and a web 
interface. In lack of hardware and time on my part to run the tests, it never 
got off the ground. Apart from an update to run on SVN instead of CVS, it 
should be functional.

If anyone's interested, please contact me.

Thanks,
Erik

 Sean Bruno said at the meeting yesterday that if we needed a
 machine in the cluster for a dedicated job, let him know,
 and there were even unused machines available at the moment..
 please talk to him (CC'd) about getting access to one of those (quite 
 nice)
 machines so we can have this running pretty permanently..

Seriously.  just ask.
