Why would it be very expensive?

I'm assuming that you'd run many benchmarks, not just "Hello world". Each one will run for some number of cycles, to make sure that you have a good mean from each run.

So it's expensive b/c it consumes CPU and time on shared systems, and those cost money... so I think a service like this could potentially cost significantly more to operate than say travis-ci.
