These are order-of-magnitude tests. They just try to assert that a
micro-benchmark is linear, quadratic, etc. This makes it so they can be run
as part of the normal layout test suite and the results mostly do not
depend on the machine you're running them on.
The inspiration for this was to give a way of adding tests when fixing bugs
around the order-of-magnitude of a given chunk of code.
Make sense?

Ojan,
I thought the DOMperf testing framework that we developed does a lot of
the work to help compensate (or at least illustrate) variability due to
GC. I thought there was more of a push to start using this for new
benchmarks as well. Is there a reason why that doesn't work for your
case?
