Hello Whiskers, 

without any further ado here is the report with a nice html graph.

https://sciabarracom.github.io/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-actionloop/

Test Methodology: I wrote a "multipost" Go application able to run multiple 
init and run in sequence and I measured the execution time with the unix "time" 
utility. I tested runs executing one init and 1000 runs in sequence. I tested 
init starting 100 containers in different ports then executing 100 init AND run 
in sequence on the various containers.

A few notes. 

I tested go and swift both precompiled (main_go.zip and main_swift.zip) and 
with a compilation on-the-fly.  Go init time looks slower than swift, but the 
Go is statically compiled and it is huge, while the swift is dynamically 
compiled and it is small. I believe most of the time is spent uploading and 
unpacking the zip. I should consider creating dynamically linked go execution. 

Python runtimes are slow, and this is not a surprise, I will try to migrate 
them to actionloop. Ruby also is pretty slow and a migration should be 
considered. Actionloop is the faster on execution for go, very close to the 
fastest nodejs. 

I can contribute the benchmarks to the repo devtools if interested.
