Tobi and me have been working on a new suite of benchmarks for pike. The
main reasons to use that instead of Tools.Shoot is to make it easier to
compare different pike versions. It currently contains (modified)
versions of all benchmarks from Tools.Shoot. They have been changed to
better test what they were intended to test.
Other things:
* reduce the variance of test results and also diaplay their standard
deviation to make comparisons possible
* encourage people (also non pike developers) to add/send their
benchmarks
* make it easier to store benchmark runs and add tools to compare them
In the long term it would be nice to integrate this and run it from
xenofarm to automatically track performance during development.
The repository name is 'pike-benchmark' and it is hosted on the same
server as the pike git. everyone who has access to the pike git, can
also access the 'pike-benchmark'. Feels free to add tests.
