           Summary: Compute statistics in perftest.py instead of reading
                    off of output text
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rniwa at webkit.org

Right now, run-perf-tests simply reads statistics off of test output text for non-page-loading tests. While this is desirable in the long term where we can have all statistics functions implemented only in JavaScript, it blocks our work to use multiple instances of DRT/WTR to smooth out between-run variance in the bug 97510.

Now that Dromaeo and other perf. tests all report results from each iteration, we can reliably compute statistics in python code instead.
