Feel free to add the rest of your test to the Shootout before adding
the optimizations so Pikefarm can track how the diffrent platforms
react to it.
In general: If people have performance tests, add them to the
benchmark. It's immensly helpful to track regressions and is only run
by Pikefarm, so you do not risk breaking anything important by
checking in all kinds of experimental stuff there.
