Some measurements for some audio processing. Output are identical
across compilers (30 measures).
### LDC 1.2.0
Results:
* minimum time: 440 ms => 48.024 x real-time
* median time: 443 ms => 47.6987 x real-time
* average time: 444.233 ms => 47.5663 x real-time
### LDC 1.3.0
Results:
* minimum time: 439 ms => 48.1334 x real-time
* median time: 442 ms => 47.8067 x real-time
* average time: 442.6 ms => 47.7419 x real-time
### LDC 1.4.0
Results:
* minimum time: 436 ms => 48.4646 x real-time
* median time: 439 ms => 48.1334 x real-time
* average time: 439.767 ms => 48.0494 x real-time
### LDC 1.5.0-b1
Results:
* minimum time: 429 ms => 49.2553 x real-time
* median time: 432 ms => 48.9133 x real-time
* average time: 433.3 ms => 48.7665 x real-time
Results are only precise up to the ~0.5% range.
So approx. +2.5% relative improvement in LDC 1.5.0-b1 vs LDC 1.2,
free lunch is always good.
The number of flags in -help-hidden seems very large, I haven't
tried any yet (apart from -enable-unsafe-fp-math which seems to
lose speed like -ffast-math, for this benchmark).
