+Benchmarks
+----------
+Benchmarking is useful to test that a change does not degrade performance.
+
+`The Grand Unified Python Benchmark Suite <http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/>`_
+has a collection of benchmarks for all Python implementations. Documentation
+about running the benchmarks is in the `README.txt
+<http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/file/tip/README.txt>`_ of the benchmarks repo.
