Xfce profiling

I just saw that Firefox has something like this in its roadmap:

  P1  B1  improve memory usage
  P2  B1  no unplanned regressions in web compatibility
  P2  B1  no regressions in browsing speed / page load times

I'm wondering if it would be possible to set up some kind of standard
tests for a default Xfce install, to check for regressions?
Something like this:

- time from display manager to operational desktop
- memory use for certain predetermined operations
- average CPU use for certain predetermined operations
- time to launch Mousepad
...
Others like these.

Should be a good way to keep the code from bloating and making Xfce slow.

Oblio
