the psxtm* tests are timing/performance tests. Functionality should be 
tested in testsuites/psxtests. I would add new test cases to an existing 
test program, e.g. in separate functions which are called by the main 
thread.

An alternative would be to add the tests using the new RTEMS Test framework:

The new test framework has also some support for performance tests which 
give more useful results on modern hardware:
