Right now, we run all tests in PerformanceTests by default but this isn't really helpful because some tests generate results with really high variance while others test really specific feature of the browser that it's not worth running as regression tests.

By whitelisting tests that are known to be good indicative of WebKit performance, we can start using these tests to see if a patch cause a real regression or not, paving our way to eventually add pref. EWS bots.
