A better benchmarking syntax (was: Automatic Benchmark Iterations)

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I think this would make an awesome summer of code project, and would
benefit a lot of other projects downstream. Please do sign up.



The math isn't my strongpoint either (on the statistical side), but
I'm happy
to kibbitz (and to try to engage other folks who can help) if you'd like.



well, the JRuby/rubinius/etc folks could sure use a common benchmarking
suite to look at sets of results from different builds (and different
platforms).
I do some revision v revision benchmarking of apps as well.


I'll weigh in some more as scope and plans become more clear (and after
I get the other eleventy-six things off my plate).

I could be persuaded to do a little mentoring in both mathematics and
benchmarking. Just don't ask me to come up with clever Ruby tricks. I
know a *lot* more about mathematics and benchmarking.

Lovely! This really seems like something that could take off!
