To be really useful, we should always run general system monitoring
alongside DB test runs, so we can see, and also later look up, where the
bottleneck are.

At least CPU (system, user, io wait, ....), RAM and disk usage should be
monitored continuously alongside benchmark runs.

I guess we (Skype DB team) could help to set something up on test lab
machines as we have been doing it on production machines for a few
years.
