we desperately need to publish benchmarks

[stew]

We need to start using JMH to benchmark our datatypes against those from the standard library where it makes sense

I am goong to start benchmarking binary search tree and Diet

[stew]

we have some benchmarks now, sbt bench/jmh:run to run them, now we need to publish the results in a way which motivates when to use which collections

[stew]

we also still need benchmarks for many structures. especially Set/Map

[anicolaspp]

I am starting benchmarks to Set.

I checked in a benchmarks.md hoping that .org mode tables would render in .md, but they don't... I'll work on it more tomorrow

@larsrh I'm interested in this one. I can generate the benchmark results. I do need someone to help me to publish the result (I know how to use sbt-jmh).

There are a few questions:

• I can not find the benchmarks.md which @stew mentioned at the early comment.
• Is it fine I run the benchmarks on AWS EC2?
