Hi all,

I recently did a run where I built clang executables on FreeBSD 12-CURRENT [1], from trunk r250000 (2015-10-11) all through r327700 (2018-03-16), with increments of 100 revisions.  This is mainly meant as an archive, for easily doing bisections, but there are also some interesting statistics.

From r250000 through r327700:
* the total (stripped) executable size grew by approximately 43%
* the size of the text segment grew by approximately 41%
* the size of the data segment grew by approximately 61%
* the size of the bss segment grew by approximately 185%
* real build time (on a 32 core system) grew by approximately 60%
* user build time (on a 32 core system) grew by approximately 62%
* maximum resident set size (RSS) grew by approximately 32%
