OK.  I'll do that then.

Many of them have a runtime that is too small to be much use for performance testing, but they're still useful for coverage and correctness testing.  It is perfectly fine to change the benchmarks to be more useful for our purposes, so if there is a way to modify it to be useful (for correctness and coverage) I'd prefer that over just disabling it.
