Increasing coverage of Julia's own code base was a major effort during 0.5 – it's not a user-facing change but it's very important. If you want to run performance tests, they can be found under test/perf. There are also a significant number of benchmarks that can be found in the BaseBenchmarks <https://github.com/JuliaCI/BaseBenchmarks.jl> repository.
