Hello,

I get routinely annoyed by the "timelines" feature of perf.py. At best,
it makes benchmarking slower because it requests a short URL for each
benchmark. At worse, it can crash the benchmark suite when the Web
service fails to respond. Could we disable the timelines by default?

I like that feature though I wouldn't mind too much if it went below the fold as an optional feature. Anyhow, I opened issue 17785 to change the shortener to a faster service, which should make the feature less annoying to people who don't use it.
