[Bf-cycles] Optimization project

[Thomas Beck]

Hi Daniel,

As asked by Brecht I'm creating a webpage where we could track down the
speed improvements. I will use your Caterpillar shot slightly changed
(resolution wise) so it doesn't last too long. Will be ready in a week (am
travelling atm) and will show CPU and GPU graphs for different official
Blender versions and dev versions.

Many greetings, Thomas
