This would be a very useful resource. I saw some detailed performance
analysis passing by on scala-user mailing list but unfortunately these
ultimately get lost in the traffic. For example, I remember one where Paul
Phillips reported how he improved performance critical sections by avoiding
RichString but I can't find it anymore.

Maybe we can:
- create a scala-performance mailing-list.
- add a "Designing for Performance" page to the Scala
Wiki<https://wiki.scala-lang.org/>under learning resources. We could
collect progressively tips,
observations, benchmarks or even links to email discussions over there.

Would that help?
