Does anyone have any multicore benchmarks that illustrate performance increases in 5.0?

Great, so, can someone send me a PR with an OCaml implementation of "my"/our GC-content benchmark (a simple string proccessing benchmark counting the fraction of G:s and C:s in DNA sequences, compared to all the A:s, C:s, G:s and T:s)?
