[darcs-users] more bytestring numbers, bench.hs

[Simon Michael]

Here are the results of some simple tests using four different versions 
of darcs on my ubuntu box. A full transcript is included so you can spot 
any problems with my method and see how to run these tests yourself, and 
add more.

Also, this demonstrates bench.hs, a new tool based on Eric's scripts. 
This one uses haskell only and aims to be simple to use and 
cross-platform. It can only run simple darcs commands though. (I 
extended it to handle shell commands last night, but the gods were 
angered and I lost that work. :/)

I can't run the actual bigzoo tests on this machine, unfortunately, as 
it would mean shutting down my cpu-hogging web app servers for several 
hours. I did shut them down during the tests below, and monitored with 
top to be sure the box was otherwise quiet.
