[RFC] new benchmark use cases

[Jan Balster]

Hi,

some of you saw the logs of the performance
meeting on #bzr yesterday.  I am one of the
guys contracted to help with improving bzr's performance
and helping Martin and Robert particularly.

One precondition to improve the performance is to have many
good benchmarks first :) So one goal stated there was to implement
more benchmarks based on use cases.

As far as i see, the following use cases are already benchmarked a bit:
(/bzrlib/benchmarks/)

  * add
  * status
  * commit
  * log
  * log-specific-file
  * checkout

More benchmarks might include:

  * create a bundle
  * apply a bundle
  * check
  * branch

Can you think of more benchmarks or suggest refinements of existing ones?


cheers,
   jan
