There aren't a lot of spare cycles to go around, but putting
automation in place so that tests like this can easily be performed is
certainly something that's in the Jenkins team's domain.

it's really functional tests that we need, for enabling features in
-CURRENT; we can work on benchmarking before and after changing a
default.
