hooray! We finally finished pypy :-)

this is not completely easy, because buildbot just pulls and updates to the
latest revision. If someone pushes in between the two runs, the revision is
different.

A quick workaround would be to force buildbot to update to a more specific
revision. E.g., "the highest revision of today at 00:00", or something like
this. This should ensure to have the same revision for all our benchmarks/tests.
