Hi Alexey,

The goal is to make it easier to benchmark changes to JSC.  Kraken is a useful and widely-used benchmark, as seen in bug 71686.  Also, SunSpider isn't terrible useful for testing the DFG JIT.  Kraken's sunspider-compare-results is broken, but WebKit's sunspider can't run Kraken, so currently you have to use one tool from one and one from the other.

Eventually, and for the same reasons that the V8 benchmarks can be run with the sunspider harness, I would like to import Kraken's benchmarks into the WebKit repo.  This change to the driver would be necessary.  However it is useful even if we do not import Kraken, and otherwise harmless.

Andy.
