Title: V1.8.1 merge (mostly benchmark stuff and some small cleanups)

Hi - I've merged your tree so it should be clean & easy on your side, feedback would really be appreciated.

Improvements are:
- Touchups to the db-server
- Benchmark library is more modular, I will start adding more benchmark cases

One thing I did mess with was the parameter types for btree/db operations, I think it's a good idea to take 'struct slice' in the main interface (and probably even internally too) as the length is explicitly provided.

The benchmarks so far are very promising and I'm keeping a keen eye on this.

I'd like to start improving the db-server by adding a ØMQ interface too (e.g. one REQ/RESP port for each operation type - so there is no protocol and very little overhead) and doing some related tools/cleanups... hopefully we can work together.

Let me know if there's anything which needs attention or testing.

Thanks - Harry
