[issue17449] dev guide appears not to cover the benchmarking suite

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

Documenting this would be useful because it appears to be non-trivial to actually run the benchmark suite with Python 3. 

* Using "python perf.py -b default" fails due to some code in the
  benchmarks that is not python3 compatible

* Using "make_perf3.sh" and then running "... -b default" still fails,
  because not all libraries are translated (the test run stopped because
  splitfire couldn't be found)

* Using "-b 2n3" instead instead of "-b default" or "-b all" works, but
  runs only a subset of the benchmark.
