Object benchmarks?

[Dan Sugalski]

As I continue to inch ever-closer to things working (down to three 
failed tests) it'd be cool if we could have some benchmark programs 
to give things a shakeout to see how our performance looks. (Given 
that we have no method cache or anything I can see things being... 
suboptimal :)

Anyway, bodging together some tests just of parrot's performance, as 
well as some comparisons to perl 5 (or ruby, or python... that'd be 
cool too!) would be a nice thing to see if we're on the right track 
here or not.
