Better benchmarks

[darkfrog26]

1.) Better tooling to expose performance flaws 2.) Additional benchmarks to show more features of Scribe 3.) A library to generate graphical reports on the benchmark results

[darkfrog26]

Though I've added some additional benchmarking support, this should be an on-going process. Moving out of 2.6 release.

Could you also please include a Scala Native comparison with slogging (https://github.com/jokade/slogging)?

Thanks!

[darkfrog26]

@david-bouyssie, I'd be happy to, but this is way down on my priority list. If you'd be interested in contributing a PR I'd absolutely include the results in the next benchmark results.

[david-bouyssie]

Not a high priority neither on my side, it was just a suggestion for your next iteration. Thanks ;-)

Scribe wins over Slogging for the name alone. :-p

Great work with the library. I think the current benchmarks might be a bit outdated. The benchmark numbers would be more complete if scribe was benchmarked against log4j's disruptor-based async logger.

[darkfrog26]

@jvican that's a great point. Any chance you have any interest in putting together a PR to represent that well? Where possible I prefer not to be the one to implement competitor loggers to avoid being accused of slanting in Scribe's favor.
