I was aware of the site when i wrote the proposal, but the idea 
is to create the infrastructure to add more measurements too, 
e.g. profiling the compiler or testing it under limited memory (I 
found out how much memory my CTFE thing was using the other 
day!). Assuming I can get it to work I'd also like to throw the 
Linux perf system in there too, but

As mentioned in the summary, this will extend to runtime 
performance too but that obviously raises the question of how to 
ensure consistent performance of the testing machine (or give a 
relative figure).
