Its not a requirement but I would like to see more support for 
performance metric unit tests.  I coded some small performance tests for 
pojo collections but never checked them in as I could only visually 
verify if performance was good or not based on logged performance 
measurements.  I'm not sure how this would really work in a unit test 
but if someone smarter has figured it out, it would be nice to use.  :)

This would catch problems that you normally don't see unless running 
under load.  Anyone know if the TestNG concurrent testing supports help 
in this area?
