We don't need a massive outstanding todo list for perf.python.org - we
need to get the current speed.pypy.org stuff made more generic for the
purposes we're aiming for and to get the hardware (on my plate) first.

Then we can talk about expanding it. I'm just begging that we not add
a bunch of stuff to a todo list for something that doesn't exist right
now.
