Actually, stress & perfomance tests are a different class of the
tests.  What we have in tools/regression are regression tests but the
main problem we still don't have a unified way to write them and no
infrastructure to run and report results.  E.g. at the moment you
can't cd /usr/src/tools/regression/ && make.

Perhaps we just need to steal NetBSD's bits until we invent something
better.

Btw, there is an item in the project ideas list:
