Description Jeremy Danyow 2016-01-06 17:05:19 PST
Modern JavaScript APIs are growing more and more Promise heavy.  It would be awesome if the benchmark suite was enhanced to cover Promise performance.

One option would be to add a dedicated Promise benchmark.  Alternatively the pdfjs bench could be updated to use the javascript engine's built-in Promise when available.

Some links:
* [Corresponding issue for Octane benchmark](https://github.com/chromium/octane/issues/35)

* [Microsoft Edge user voice issue](https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/11329845-improve-promise-implementation-performance)

Let me know what you think- I'm willing to work on a PR if you want to provide some direction on this.
