Collection of different Benchmarks

[stephano33]

I am starting a project to improve the performance of Rasterific. A motivation, for example, is to render 60 frames a second. So I will implement concurrency (i.e. Multithreading) support.

Can we all collaborate together on this project?

The first step is to implement a collection of benchmarks. We need to check that one improvement doesn't slow down some other use cases. To verify the speedup progress, benchmarks are needed.

I am first implementing the snowflake demo benchmark:

I implemented a simplified version of the snow demo. It only displays rectangles at the moment:
