I have used experimental design statistics for performance evaluation and quality assurance applications. For example, you have a set of systems that you want to determine has the best cost/performance ratio... design an experiment to help you figure out which one is "the winner". When you run performance benchmarks, how do you determine if the observered performance difference is due to a difference in the systems or due to random error? Performance monitoring also has quite a few applications as well. Hope this helps...
