Benchmark

[Robert burner Schadek via Digitalmars-d]

At this years DConf I gave a very short overview of the 
benchmarking library I'm working on [1]. The source can be found 
here [2]

The general idea goes as following.
Unit tests in D help us to find bugs and avoid regressions, but 
they do not cover performance regressions. That is bad, we are 
basically, currently just hoping that performance diminishes.

So my idea is to eventually get this library into phobos, write 
benchmarks for all functions in phobos, execute the benchmarks 
for every merge into master, use gnuplot to display the results 
on the dlang webpage, profit.

Right now I need people to give feedback on the library. You can 
find it on code.dlang.org [3]
