The test is failing in CI sometimes due to performance reasons.
There are at least two problems:
1. The initial 500ms (wall time) sleep might be too short. If the reclaimer
doesn't manage to evict enough memory during this time, the test will fail.
2. During the 100ms (thread CPU time) window given by the test to background
reclaim, the `background_reclaim` scheduling group isn't actually
guaranteed to get any CPU, regardless of shares. If the process is
switched out inside the `background_reclaim` group, it might
accumulate so much vruntime that it won't get any more CPU again
for a long time.
We have seen both.
This kind of timing test can't be run reliably on overcommitted machines
without modifying the Seastar scheduler to support that (by e.g. using
thread clock instead of wall time clock in the scheduler), and that would
require an amount of effort disproportionate to the value of the test.
So for now, to unflake the test, this patch removes the performance test
part. (And the tradeoff is a weakening of the test).

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
