I don't think there is one. Previously, the testers have typically just picked a few combinations that they ran in their environment with both the latest released version and the current release candidate, and compared the results from the two versions to verify that the performance hasn't gone down. I'm going to run some of these tests on Solaris, but it would be useful to see results from other platforms too. And two testers will probably configure the JVM/db/test/OS differently, which will increase the likelihood of discovering regressions that only manifest themselves in certain configurations. -- Knut Anders
