I agree with you entirely. One of the goals that we hope to accomplish with our performance audit is authoring a 'performance guide' as an appendix to the manual. We could add a section about performance testing that focuses PHP developers on how to properly test performance, what the numbers mean, and if they should be worrying about it in the first place. Maybe you could help us out with some of the content. :)
