Scale factor 10 produces an accounts table of about 130 Mb. Given that

That gets into a different set of questions, which is what we want the
buildfarm turnaround time to be like. The faster members today produce
a result within 10-15 minutes of pulling their CVS snaps, and I'd be
seriously unhappy if that changed to an hour or three. Maybe we need to
divorce compile/regression tests from performance tests?
We could have the system report build/regression results before going on
to do performance testing. I don't want to divorce them altogether if I
can help it, as it will make cleanup a lot messier.
