Comment(by ioerror):

 I am fairly certain that a private network test is orthogonal to the
 benchmark tests that I suggest. We need basic metrics to decide if a
 device is even worth testing in a private network. Currently, we don't
 have an idea of what we'd like to see as a minimum spec for a machine -
 whats the absolute lowest number of Tor RSA related operations we want in
 a torouter, etc?

 Also, I think it's important to have a benchmarking mode because rarely
 will anyone setup a private Tor network and we can ask _anyone_ to run a
 single Tor command. Having it as a unit test will limit who actually runs
 the test and having it as a commandline switch will open up performance
 metrics to anyone with a copy of Tor, if they have an interest in sending
 us feedback...
