Unfortunately, I don't have Go 1.6 numbers. I benchmarked my parallel 2-d convex hull program in Go 1.5 and Go 1.7 on Windows 64-bit platform. The code uses big rational numbers (math/big.Rat) which puts pressure on the GC. I observed noticeable reduction in run times: 1-core version of the Go 1.7 code took between 76%-86% wall time of the Go 1.5 code. The numbers are even better running on 4 cores: the Go 1.7 code took between 71%-79% wall time of the Go 1.5 code.
