I saw the discussion about removing the Fastcode Quality, but wasn't
sure how you'd like to see it done. Should these tests be rolled in to
the regular benchmarks or should they be removed completely?

Other ToDo items:
- Run each validation and benchmark in a separate process.
- If a validation or benchmark runs too long, it will be stopped and
flagged as "Failed". The goal is that all tests should run unattended.
How do we tell if a test is "locked"? If it runs for longer than x
minutes? If the memory usage of the test doesn't change for x minutes?
What should X be?
- Make sure the interactive B&V uses exactly the same code to run
validations and benchmarks. I'm thinking this will mean registering
validations in to a collection, similar to the way benchmarks are done
now. I haven't looked at the template B&V yet, so this might already
be done there.
