Performance Check During Install

It would be really nice to avoid the whole performance check during Vista's installation since the result isn't really useful until updated drivers have been installed. More importantly, for the love of Dancing Steve Balmer, ask me questions at the start of the install, and at the end. If you insist on doing the performance check, fine, but do it before prompting me for information. I spent the better part of the last two days rebuilding some Vista test lab images, and have waited for the performance thing at least three dozen times. Is there a trivial way to avoid/skip this step without learning how to build unattended installations (yes, that's on the todo list too, but I'm not there yet)
