// Simple framework for running the benchmark suites and
// computing a score based on the timing measurements.


// A benchmark has a name (string) and a function that will be run to
// do the performance measurement. The optional setup and tearDown
// arguments are functions that will be invoked before and after
// running the benchmark, but the running time of these functions will
// not be accounted for in the benchmark score.

// run the benchmark. The benchmark score is computed later once a
// full benchmark suite has run to completion.

// scores implies better performance.
