Hello everybody !!!

It is very nice that we have in Sage a way to automatically test our
functions through docstrings which, besides, lead us to improve the
documentation.... How hard could it be to find a similar way to measure the
performance of Sage functions, something like a global benchmark we could
run at each release of Sage, to check if we really improved the speed of the
computings ?

Would it be possible to add in each docstring a "Benchmark :" section, with
a few lines to be tested that could be nicely output in a beautiful html
page containing all the results ? ( and maybe an historic of the previous
releases ? )

This way we could easily control our performances, and compare them to the
other's.... !

Nathann
