Comment (by warner):

 oh, you'll also need to edit {{{tahoe.cfg}}} and set {{{shares.happy=1}}},
 since the performance-testing grid doesn't have a full complement of
 servers.

 How this works: the buildslave will update it's copy of the tahoe source
 code, build it, then use that bin/tahoe to start the client in {{{~/tahoe-
 speed-client}}}. That client will connect to the perfgrid. Then the
 buildslave will tell the client to upload/download files in a variety of
 sizes, measuring the time it takes. When the test is done, the client will
 be shut down. So you have to configure the client ahead of time, but don't
 need to start it (the buildslave will take care of that).
