Hi everyone,

As I can understand, a lot of tests in Nexmark set are performance tests. I
suggest to rename(or split) the set to performance tests.

Performance tests are much less reliable compared to post-commit tests and
should have different requirements. Additionally, they are much more flaky.

Splitting out performance tests to separate set will allow us to treat
failures with lower priority and add more tolerance for flakes compared to
what we have decided for post-commit tests
<https://beam.apache.org/contribute/postcommits-policies/>.

This will also be more organic to use different builder from
PostcommitJobBuilder
<https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/master/.test-infra/jenkins>, since we
will want different requirements for perf tests.

I do not believe we have a problem with this in current state, but I expect
this to become an issue in the future as amount of perf tests grows.

Regards,
--Mikhail
