That would do it across different architectures and particular changes to the code (although then something should keep a record of what pystone had been observed at what time). It won't do it across different releases, because we don't have Python binaries for each release available on each slave. Unfortunately, there can't be a guarantee that the slaves are idle. Several of them fulfill some primary function for whoever contributed the slave installation (I know *my* Solaris machine has to do other things, as well).
