Thinking of subunit. could you re-base your LP branch for that update please?

[RFC] Micro Benchmarking
I've been giving some thought to how we can do this in an automated way. If anyone has a better way please mention it... So far what I'm thinking is to leverage cppunit to building benchmark-units which output some stats about how long it took to run some operation/function N times. Starting with a basic one to be designed, which can be used as a baseline for the CPU/machine doing the run. The scope of these micro operations would be individual function/method call sequences with no async sub-steps. Such as measuring and ranking the raw speed of the fast ACL types, clientDB lookups, memPool allocate/free/garbage-collection, etc. The tricky bit appears to be recovering the benchmark output and handling it after a run.
