I see that as a difference between perf monitoring and reaching perf 
goals. I think that right now, we are more interested in reaching decent 
performance overall and get a good baseline rather than monitoring perf 
regressions. So it's more important IMO that we see at a glance the 
areas that still suck (perf wise...) rather than those that changed 
(we're so far away from the baseline that changes are not particularly 
significant... I mean, seeing a glorious green on a test that improved 
but is still 10x slower than the baseline doesn't convey the right sense 
of urgency...).

Once we get to the baseline (post Preview), I agree that switching to 
perf monitoring will make more sense.

Cheers,
