Clearer test result

[frederikhors]

Is there a way (maybe graphic) to make the result clearer and more evident?

Thanks for your amazing work.

I'm using the standard Go benchmarking tools. It be great if there was an automated way to make the output more clear, but personally I don't know of any.

Visualization could be done manually, but that could take an extensive amount of time.

Ok, but maybe we can:

• add a new blank line after each group
• change the name using more clearly the different tool at the end (e.g.: ...-PGX, ...-PG)
• always use the same order

And maybe use something like this: http://mindchunk.blogspot.com/2013/05/visualizing-go-benchmarks-with-benchviz.html

I'm not actually sure how to do this with testing package -- at least without putting print statements in the tests ☹️

change the name using more clearly the different tool at the end (e.g.: ...-PGX, ...-PG)

It's consistently at the front now. I find that easier to scan than at the end.

As far as I can tell benchviz uses benchcmp which compares multiple runs of the same benchmarks, not benchmarks within the same run.
