Initial compile time benchmarks

[Ömer Sinan Ağacan]

Hi Joachim,

That's GHC HEAD at the time with -O1 for stage 2 + libs.

The way I generate the logs is:

- I create a cabal sandbox and run `cabal exec zsh` to set up the env
  variables.

- I install packages in that shell.

- $ (cat  .cabal-sandbox/logs/*.log | analyze-ghc-timings) > output

I don't know why there would be that much difference. Note that my setup was
not perfect, I run some other (although lightweight) processes on the side.
