We've started to do this at our company, and it has really improved the morale. We've also been giving talks at local meetups about our findings and it had created a bit of a buzz in the community which reflects positively back on the company. I'm starting to tell people "go beyond TDD with PTSD (performance testing stipulated development)". It will give your machine trauma, but it helps gamify development in an area that is otherwise dry and boring. Even worse, our company, GUN, does JavaScript development (we're an Open Source Firebase), and JS engines are sadly slow, but it is critical to our engineering team. In the process, I've collected a humorous sample of some very basic JS operations that you can run yourself, starting with nothing all the way up to loops and closures - http://db.marknadal.com/ptsd/ptsd.html http://db.marknadal.com/ptsd/ptsd.html . Hope you enjoy it and don't get too depressed.
