Benchmark descriptions:

go/flicker.go
-------------

Demonstrates a renderer flicker which occurs when many windows are connected to fast updating Websockets.

To run:

 $ ./go/run.sh flicker

This will run a server with a page to launch the benchmark. The default arguments to the benchmark should cause the bug. There are a number of parameters that can be adjusted to experiment with the bug:

 $ ./go/run.sh flicker --help

  -updateIntervalMs=250: update interval of Websocket in MS
  -height=800: height of windows
  -width=200: width of windows
  -padding=0: padding to be added to the message (to increase WS message size)
  -numWindows=10: number of windows to run the benchmark in

Clicking on windows while the benchmark is running also helps expose the bug.
