Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I mean if it's possible for a test case to just fail when hitting some
big performance regression.

E.g. one operation should finish in 30s, but when it takes over 300s,
it's definitely a big regression.

But considering how many different hardware/VM the test may be run on,
I'm not really confident if this is possible.

Thanks,
