Very much looking forward to this :-)

IMO the files in that directory are mere tests for some functionality 
and don't really qualify as benchmarks. When I did tests some time ago I 
added a few more files to the directory:

- http://forum.dlang.org/thread/jc2cbj$1l90$1@digitalmars.com
- 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8782627/does-the-d-garbage-collector-work
- testgc2.d and testgc3.d from the test-suite

My main benchmark for performance and correctness was the parser from 
Visual D though.
