Hi Rick,

I don't think JDBCPerfTestCase does what you want right now, it only 
gives you the ability to run for a specified number of iterations / 
series and then give you basic timing information.
You might want to check out JUnitPerf and GroboUtils to see if they can 
easily be folded into our test framework. Especially the former looks 
slim and easy enough to use, but I don't have any practical experience 
with it.

I'm not aware of any relevant existing base class in the Derby test 
framework for running multi-threaded tests.
