Performance benchmarks

Hi,

I have been working on a framework for writing tests to record
performance. I have something good enough to share:

https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/projects/csvn

It is pretty easy to add new tests if you have ideas on more tests you
think we should add. I think I have pretty good coverage of the major
functions. The wiki on the site I linked to above has details on how
I have constructed the current tests. I am going to put out a call to
users for feedback and try to get more people to run the tests and
record results.

I am not claiming these are anything definitive or even that we will
use them to help us make the release decision, but I think it is a
start on coming up with some reproducible tests that people can run
easily. If after people look at and run the tests they think they are
useful or can be tweaked to be useful, then great. If not, then at
least I got to write some code for a change :)

The tests are written in Java because that is what I know and it gives
me good cross platform coverage. However, the Java just drives the
command line so all you need to do is have the svn command line in
your PATH and that is what it uses for all the work.
