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...
