Comment (by nomeata):

 ghcspeed is currently not well prepared for such manual runs. There are
 two options:

  * Simply do the commit, push to master, see what happens, and revert if
 you don’t like it. It’s not like you are breaking things, and until last
 year, this was the normal way anyways.
  * Do the usual local comparisons of two working copies in validate
 settings and using nofib-compare. Attach the result to the ticket and
 discuss.

 What would you expect from ghcspeed that you would not get this way?
