There's a lot of variance in the tests. I'm currently running a variance
test battery on one machine to figure out why the results become so
variable when checkpointing is < 1 hour.

Actually, to cover all which is currently running:

machine1 & 3 wal_buffers scaling test
machine2 STP variance test
machine4 full_page_writes=false test

All of these should wind up in about 5 days, provided the STP doesn't crash
(not an insignificant concern).
