Hi Eric,
that's a very good point thanks for commenting.

Actually with the current setup you could depose a benchmark in the
benchmarks folder that calls say some gnus function and define a test in
that way.  Everything would work except the 'recompile'.

I also like the idea of doing the other way around (defining benchmarks
and have them shipped with the package itself).  This would be
potentially more elegant but I guess we should then have the
infrastructure to do that in Emacs and not just in ELPA.  Is this
correct?

Maybe you have in mind a different mechanism for this?

Bests
