Waterfall is know to be very slow, even if dont have so much builders, its
more related to the whole activity.

There is still quite limited category support in buildbot-nine. I think
there are some data model issues to sort out, and then the basic filtering
UI should be pretty easy.

There are also a lot of opportunities for some dc.js + crossfilter based
views with matrix based CIs
