I'm fine with that. Note that in general the performance testsuite, at
variance with the main one, isn't a -regression- testsuite, is about
performance more generally. Thus, certainly I would be also ok with
adding some snippets exercising performance-wise parts of the library
which we are not exercising already elsewhere, in normal mode.
