> The following benchmarks evaluate various functionality with the focus on real-world usage patterns.

I can't say I write much code that does one thing many times in a really tight loop. It would be a lot more interesting if the code combined multiple functions into the loop body in a better attempt to simulate "real-world usage patterns."

Good point, thanks! The idea behind these benchmarks is to make the results usable in real-world programs, rather than benchmarking real-world programs. I rephrased that sentence to avoid any confusion.
