%
% This particular benchmark was assembled to learn about Erlang benchmarking on a simple case and to
% satisfy my curiosity as to why the yaws_server:conc_path/1 function was used instead of one of the
% 'lists' functions such as lists:append, and why conc_path isn't tail-recursive.
%
% Note that I'm not suggesting that conc_path is necessarily worth of particular attention regarding performance!
% (though it may be.. )
% Applying this sort of benchmark to such small parts of Yaws at this stage (v 1.68) could quite reasonably be classed
% as 'premature optimization' I think ;)
% Proper profiling would need to be done to determine what code paths are actually performance sensitive and worthy
% of attention.
