[Python-Dev] Proposal for a common benchmark suite

Given those facts I think including pybench is a mistake. It does not
allow for a fair or meaningful comparison between implementations
which is one of the things the suite is supposed to be used for in the
future.

This easily leads to misinterpretation of the results from this
particular benchmark and it negatively affects the performance data as
a whole.

The same applies to several Unladen Swallow microbenchmarks such as
bm_call_method_*, bm_call_simple and bm_unpack_sequence.
