benchmarks

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Alexander: we have two Performance Tsars, namely Johan Tibell and Bryan O'Sullivan.  Their mission is to watch GHC's performance (both as a compiler and the code it produces) like a hawk, encourage it to get better, and yell if it gets worse.

But they are busy men.  I'm sure they would welcome help from you.  Right Bryan, Johan?

| Hi.
| Do you do performance testing?
| I would be interested in statistics by release.
| I worked at optimizing compiler at my previous job and we had quite huge
| amount of performance tests for each commit. When something slowed down
| we fixed it. It is strange but most of times we found and fixed
| slowdown.
