Differentiate between microbenchmarks and macrobenchmarks #55

We should classify the current set of benchmarks as microbenchmarks. They don't really resemble any "real-world" workload. In addition, we should introduce a notion of macrobenchmarks, which are supposed to resemble real-world workloads. One example of a macrobenchmark is a httpserver.
