this should be move to power.py file

Please include information about _why_ we want this benchmark. This is always
important, but especially important for this benchmark because I could see
pretty rational people thinking this is a dumb benchmark. (it's not)

Done.

we don't enable Chrome trace, so there is no use in adding chrome categories

Instead of options.config.enable_cpu_trace = False, which is the default, could
you please file a crbug against me to investigate the clock sync problem and
just add a TODO to enable the CPU trace?

nit: no need to respecify the default

[rnephew (Reviews Here), 2017/03/30 20:58:23]

It actually is required. It was failing to clock sync chrome when I get rid of
htat line. Printing out the stack in the setter I determined it was getting
overwritten here:
