Benchmark Module?

[gramian]

Dear All,

the engine module accumulated quite a few benchmarks as (default) tests. Especially the timing tests are (naturally) rather time consuming and the task of looking for irregular test failures in this modules becomes hard.

How about adding a benchmark module that contains all timing and compliance benchmarks, so one has more control when these are run, or can be run separately just for the purpose of benchmakring on different systems or JVMs etc.?

Thanks

I like this idea. @robfrank WDYT about moving all benchmarks under benchmark module (same project)?
