Yeah - what I'd like to be able to do is have a virtual-machine limited 
to e.g. the speed of a 1GHz P4 with 512MB RAM and something that looks 
like a single IDE disk. And then change all those parameters on the next 
test run. And it needs to be *all* of them, otherwise the tests will be 
unbalanced.
