I've now pushed the branch smoke-me/davem/perf, which does the following:
create t/perf/
create t/perf/opcount.t with a single example test
rename t/op/opt.t -> t/perf/optree.t
create t/perf/speed.t with a single example test
create t/perf/benchmarks with a simple sample benchmark snippet
create t/perf/benchmarks.t that tests the basic syntax of t/perf/benchmarks
I have not yet done (and don't intend to do immediately):
create t/perf/peek.t or similar, to examine SV fields
create tools to run timings and cachegrinds of t/perf/benchmarks code
snippets, possibly across multiple perls
create a test file that examines perl -Dfoo debugging output
