### Performance Tests - toPandas
Tests run on a 4 node standalone cluster with 32 cores total,
14.04.1-Ubuntu and OpenJDK 8
measured wall clock time to execute `toPandas()` and took the average best
time of 5 runs/5 loops each.
Test code
```python
df = spark.range(1 << 25, numPartitions=32).toDF("id").withColumn("x1",
rand()).withColumn("x2", rand()).withColumn("x3", rand()).withColumn("x4",
rand())
for i in range(5):
start = time.time()
_ = df.toPandas()
elapsed = time.time() - start
```
