I think you miss the point. Comprehesive benchmarks are nice so that you can evaluate the effects of and prevent performance accidents often associated withnew changes. It's not groundbreaking stuff, but it's
I'm just not convinced that these little microbenchmarks are very helpful.
To achieve your goal I suggest someone builds benchmarking into the regression tests, i.e. 'make benchmark-tests' or the like, outputting a machine readable format. It would then be possible to automatically compare two versions on a much wider range, allow graphing, alerts if something is much slower etc. Now _that_ sounds interesting for QA.
