Testing performance / jobset

This may be of interest to integrate in the article:

if you want to test hydra performance without fully configuring hydra, just try these 2 commands

nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hydra
./result/bin/hydra-eval-jobs -I ~/nixpkgs/ ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/release.nix

it will spit out a giant blob of json, chew up 4gig of ram, and write .drv files for every single package to the store
