While I could probably run the tests, I don't have any idea how to chose
such spectests, because I don't know which operations dominate the
execution times of which spectests.

Sure, we have spectests that do lots of numeric operations, but I have
no idea if the execution time of the numeric operations isn't dwarfed by
that of dispatching the numerical operators, lookup in lexicals and so on.

If you want to test particular subsystems, performance tests in PIR (or
maybe NQP/NQP-rx) look like the better alternative to me, at least until
we have better profiling tools.
