On a somewhat related note, I've been working on a CI system to 
keep tabs on the compile-time/run-time performance, memory usage 
and file size for our compilers. It's strictly geared towards 
executing the same test case on different compiler 
configurations, though, so it doesn't really overlap with what is 
proposed here.

Right now, its continually building DMD/GDC/LDC from Git and 
measuring some 40 mostly small benchmarks, but I need to improve 
the web UI a lot before it is ready for public consumption. Just 
thought I would mention it here to avoid scope creep in what 
Peter Alexander (and others) might be working on.

Cheers,
David
