Performance Testing Center Of Excellence

I read about an interesting survey here. It covers performance testing centres of excellence (CoE). Well actually it covers a performance testing center of excellence but only the really pedantic would mind this slight difference. The article stated that:

having a CoE helped to prioritise, centralise, and standardise performance testing across the enterprise. They typically returned their investment in 12 months and required a modest headcount: mostly under 19, and on average 11. A CoE not only improves performance, it improves quality awareness in the organisation.

That's a great Return on Investment (ROI) particularly palatable in these recessionary times. So why aren't there more companies with these performance testing centers of excellence?
