How are we going to measure the performance improvements?

I'd propose that we add a performance unit test so that we can compare the 2 
implementations.

I  can think of at least 2 tools for this:

* ContiPerf: http://databene.org/contiperf
I had written a quick minimalist test here: 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6164?focusedCommentId=59460&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-59460

* Tempus-fugit: http://code.google.com/p/tempus-fugit/wiki/Documentation?tm=6

ContiPerf seems the best to me.

We wouldn't run this test as part of the main test suite but it could be either 
run manually or triggered by a maven profile.

WDYT?

Thanks
