[Speed] Results of CPython benchmarks on 2016

Hi,

Before removing everything from speed.python.org database, I took screenshots on interesting pages: https://haypo.github.io/speed-python-org-march-2017.html

• Benchmarks where Python 3.7 is faster than Python 2.7
• Benchmarks where Python 3.7 is slower than Python 2.7
• Significant optimizations
• etc.

CPython became faster on many benchmarks in 2016:

• call_method
• float
• hexiom
• nqueens
• pickle_list
• richards
• scimark_lu
• scimark_sor
• sympy_sum
• telco
• unpickle_list.

I now have to analyze what made these benchmarks faster for my future Pycon US talk "Optimizations which made Python 3.6 faster than Python 3.5" ;-)

I also kept many screenshots to see that benchmarks are now stable!
