This is a short demo of some session comparison functionality I had
implemented some time ago. I plan on bringing this to Perf first.

Overall, I think most profiling tools tend to have some format for
saving data (whether that's XML, or just some tabular format). To me
letting a user store these sessions for comparing between them seems
like a natural progression.
