Benchmarks: Linux Registry (from the author)

Oh, and I forgot to tell you:
The default behavior of the 'rg ls -R' command is to qsort() the keys,
which is a pretty heavy task for +1000 entries.

I guess that when you don't ask it to sort them (a simple switch when
using the API), "user" times bellow will be better.

Regards,
Avi
