Sure. The data is there in the runspec log file, so collecting it
would be trivial. I need to think about what would be the best
way of presenting it

We should have a separate chart for compilation times. I don't
think we want to put compilation times in the SPEC chart because
the scales are so different. Maybe having it side by side with
the performance chart?

We should also have cutoff dates for historic data. Having all
that daily info becomes meaningless after a while. Maybe take the
average of the last 3-4 months and summarize them in one data
point.
