Changelog of @hackage/streaming-benchmarks 0.3.0

0.3.0

Simplify the README, use text tables instead of graphs.
Upgrade to latest release of all streaming packages
Build bench-report utility independently to avoid dependency issues
Add benchmarks for streamly pure lists, streamly arrays, bytestring, text, dlist, sequence
Add benchmarks to measure composition of the filtering and transformation operations multiple times
Add benchmarks to measure composition of various combinations of different operations multiple times.
Add benchmarks that iterate the same operation multiple times
Use the bench-show package for better reporting of diffs. Supports comparison in multiples or percentages of other packages.

Added benchmarks for pure lists
Added benchmarks for pure vector
Added benchmarks for vector monadic streaming library
Added drinkery streaming library
The code is modular now, package specific ops for each benchmarked package are contained in a separate own module. It is much easier to add a new package now.
The benchmarking code now works for IO as well as Identity monad.
Used the same stream generation method for all libraries for a fair comparison.
Use a monadic API (unfoldrM) for generating the stream.
conduit-1.3.0 has a performance issue with mapM_. Avoided using mapM_ and used sinkNull instead. See https://github.com/snoyberg/conduit/issues/363. This workaround improves the performance of all conduit benchmarks that drain the stream.
pipes also had an issue similar to that of conduit. The code was using mapM_ which was very inefficient, used discard instead and got a significant boost in numbers.
