These are failing due to timeouts. The test just takes too long on this device. I confirmed this locally on a nexus 7 and can fix the test to be faster.

Martiniss, did you land the disabling? If not, I'll have a patch up shortly.

Rework blink_perf.paint tests to not timeout on Nexus7v2

large-table-repaint.html and appending-text.html are too
bigly for the Nexus7v2. This patch rewrites them to be
faster (not timeout), and gives them some headroom to
regress and still not timeout. This patch also reverts [1]
which initially disabled these tests.

I try to keep it light with perf sheriffs/perfbot sheriffs/etc because sheriffing can be stressful. Unfortunately, comment #3 came off poorly. Sorry about that.

Thanks for your help being a sheriff today and for handling my team's failing test which had slipped our radar (no perf test coverage for ~10 days[1]) You took the time to lookup other teammembers because the test owner was OOO which was really cool.
