These people should feel free to complain to me. However the removal was
necessary and long overdue. Actually, the feature was responsible for many
regressions and was originally intended by me for debugging purposes.

perftest is not running on gandalf, instead on vm139.

As I'm one of the main users of gandalf (e.g. update, UI testing, random
config) and some more exotic builds not managed by jenkins I will try to
take care of the update during the weekend. I already managed to get gperf
working but the SUSE network firewall blocks access to github so flex could
not be updated. The new compiler should be possible without major issues.
