This is a graph of your numbers from bug #118439. I was going to put a
simple explanation of the benchmark in the notes. I feel we need to use
the release notes as a vessel to actually pimp new hotness in our stack.
A lot of stuff appears in the typical dull release notes for the various
modules that go out from release to release and developers on the fringe
never find out about them. If we have to use fast women and flashy
graphics to tell developers about our features, I fully support that.
