Thanks for the benchmarks, it's always nice to see real data...

A minor problem... my brain keeps on doing a mental double-take 
whenever I see "ms", because I keep interpreting that as 
milliseconds. "ns" might be easier for the brain to interpret, 
because for microseconds, one must compare fractions, while for 
nanoseconds, one can look at the integer portion and quickly get 
an idea of its magnitude. But it's a minor thing.

Thanks again for keeping the list supplied with benchmark data!
