Hmm, yes I believe is it currently the case that very little will 
interfere with accurate benchmarks.  But that is not going to be true 
for very long; the plan is to setup the mailing lists on the same server 
as build.squeak.org.  That's going to throw a serious wrench into 
accurate benchmarking.

Disclaimer: I know very little about Jenkins and not much about how we 
are using it.

That said, I seem to remember some work was done to make it possible to 
do builds (or whatever) remotely?  Perhaps benchmarking can be done 
remotely (adding the benefit of including platform specific info)?  That 
said the same problem holds if the user of the remote system is doing 
much on their system.
