BigInt Benchmarks Timeline: bench all versions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Moin,

recently I got the idea that it would be a good idea to have some sort of
comparisation between the various BigInt versions. Mainly to spot trends, but
I guess I also needed some sort of justification for me pouring literally
thousand of hours of my spare time into this project.

I wrote a set of scripts that can be used to automatically run the benchmark
for all versions, and then create a pretty graph from the output (Thanx to
GD::Graph).

The results can be found here:

	http://www.bloodgate.com/perl/bigint/bench_timeline.html

I didn't have time yet to write longish explanations, and the link to the
complete scripts to create the benchmarks is also missing. I will fill this
in after I got some sleep. For now, watch the shiny graphs :) If you have any
questions, please drop me a note.

Feedback welcome, as usual. Somebody else might decide whether I get a cigar
or not :)

Cheers,

Tels
