stringbench is designed to compare 8-bit and unicode
implementations of the same operations, and to compare
similar operations (e.g. in vs. find vs. index).

the pybench output isn't really useful for this kind of
benchmarking.

(and pybench is also extremely unreliable if you look at
individual tests; more about that later).
