Both.  Semantic regressions, and secondarily, performance regressions.
I can understand the need to stabilize the code and inputs for measuring
performance.  As bad a benchmark as pystone is, one of its saving graces is
that it hasn't changed in so long.

When looking for semantic problems I can see that you would add new packages
to the suite where they expose problems, just as we do today for unit tests.
