Benchmark the installation itself

Just a random thought (feel free to close this if you disagree) - what about benchmarking the installation time for the package?

Not a terrible idea, but this tool isn't very suitable (at the moment) for benchmarking things that are I/O bound. To properly benchmark this, we'd need to do RAM disks, for example, to remove the effects of spinning disks, network queries etc.

Good point - feel free to close this in that case.
