Re: Starting work on Indexed DB v2 spec - feedback wanted

Our current performance suite is @
https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/tree/master/tests/performance

Its at a fairly abstract level above idb, and right now its not
particularly clean, but it should be easy enough to get running,
instructions @
https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

We have only just started on and the tests may not be great
representations, but early signs are chrome and firefox are quite
comparable with chrome being noticeably faster for keyrange queries, and
safari being orders of magnitude faster
