Perlin noise benchmark.

Runs perlin noise 256x256 image generation 100 times.

Currently the frontend is just a bunch of shell scripts to compile/run compiled
versions of it. You'll have to run scripted versions manually with the
interpreter of your choice.

Example output of the run on my machine (intel i5-3470, 64 bit) and the versions I use:
