Measurement. Where can I go to see the equivalent of Firefox's
<http://arewefastyet.com/> for Ubuntu startup speed? Where's the
equivalent graph for Ubiquity? For Unity? For Ubuntu Software Center?
How much better or worse is yesterday's Natty nightly compared with
Ubuntu 10.10? With Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

Regression handling. If any of those numbers gets worse by 5%, or 10%,
or 25%, how soon do we realize? And what's our procedure for fixing it?
