Something like that is definitely an option, but xsltproc not being
able to handle a large output is only part of the issue. Another part
is whether we want to that much of the data (almost 0.5 Gb in the
original case) to be processed, transfered over the net (potentially
making the runner to pay for the wasted bandwidth), and then loaded
into someone's browser.

Do we?

The benefit of having it all in the reports is that the runner is
freed from requests to look up the corresponding info in her bjam log
in case the developer doesn't have access to the same platform.

Then of course we can make it a regression.py option.
