Hi,

For the first release of the "new" benchmark suite, I chose the name
"performance", since "benchmark" and "benchmarks" names were already
reserved on PyPI. It's the name of the Python module, but also of the
command line tool: "pyperformance".

Since there is an "old" benchmark suite
(https://hg.python.org/benchmarks), PyPy has its benchmark suite, etc.
I propose to rename the GitHub project to "performance" to avoid
confusion.

What do you think?

Note: I'm not a big fan of the "performance" name, but I don't think
it matters much. The name only needs to be unique and available on
PyPI :-D

By the way, I don't know if it's worth it to have a "pyperformance"
command line tool. You can already use "python3 -m performance ..."
syntax. But you have to recall the Python version used to install the
module. "python2 -m performance ..." doesn't work if you only
installed performance for Python 3!
