we have a benchmark suite called nofib, see
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningNoFib
and http://git.haskell.org/?p=nofib.git

Unfortunately, we do not run it automatically for each commit, and this
is unfortunate. In fact, I do spend a relevant fraction of my GHC
hacking time starting nofib runs, manually comparing the results etc.
But of course only when I expect a change (or expect that made a change
that I did not want to do) and more automation would help here. But
automatically running the test suite is more urgent, I’d say :-)

Greetings,
Joachim
