That became my work, not Ben's.

The current proposal is to gather architecture, distro, memory size, number of
procs, characteristics of the storage device (size, performance, type, xfs_info
output), xfsprogs version numbers, the time it takes for each test to run, the
date & time it was run, and the hostname of the system.

The plan was to output that information into a database which we could add
benchmark information into as well with an eye to detecting performance
regressions.

(I felt, for example, that the recent discussion of CRC work and CPU usage
could have been helped by that.)

The last stage was to write a script to upload test run data which oss would
be able to publish.

Some of that work is done.  I need to get back around to it.
