I do agree that anything marked with EXPENSIVE is practically useless if nobody is running it. In many cases these can be made much less expensive by being smarter about setup (e.g., using fast-import or test_commit_bulk to create commits rather than looping and creating many processes).
This one in particular seems to add about 500ms, which isn't too bad. But I actually don't think it's doing anything useful. See below.

Subject: [PATCH] t3419: drop EXPENSIVE tests
When t3419 was originally written, it was designed to run a smaller test for correctness, and then the same test with a larger number of patches for performance. But it seems unlikely the latter was helping us:
- it was marked with EXPENSIVE, so hardly anybody ran it anyway
- there's no indication that it was more likely to find bugs than the
smaller case (the commit message isn't very helpful, but the original
cover letter describes it as: "The first patch adds correctness and
(optional) performance tests".
- the timing results are shown only via test_debug(). So also not run
unless the user says "-d", and then not provided in any
machine-readable form.
If we're interested in performance regressions, a script in t/perf would be more appropriate. I didn't add one here, because it's not at all clear to me that what the script is timing is even all that interesting.
Let's simplify the script by dropping the EXPENSIVE run. That in turn lets us drop the do_tests() wrapper, which lets us consistently use single-quotes for our test snippets. And we can drop the useless test_debug() timings, as well as their run() helper. And finally, while we're here, we can replace the count() helper with the standard test_seq().

Prepared on top of en/rebase-backend, since it textually conflicts
otherwise. Best viewed with "diff -w" because of the re-indenting.
