Benchmarks

[davidmoten]

Benchmarks would be nice to help make performance improvements.

I propose to use JMH with some benchmarks that allow us to compare using straight jdbc patterns (lots of try-catch-finally } to using rxjava-jdbc. I would probably use embedded H2 database as per unit tests but open to suggestions.

👍 after reading this, I was actually going to say that I've had good experiences with the JUnitBenchmarks project, but it looks like they've deprecated it in favor of JMH, so all the better.

On a somewhat related note, your the JDBC patterns referenced in the docs (and in these benchmarks) should probably use try-with-resources. It really shouldn't make a performance difference as it's primarily syntactic sugar, but I think it better represents modern JDBC patterns.

Thanks for your suggestion about using try-with-resources in the README. Makes sense especially as the library requires java 7. I'll update it and use that pattern in benchmarks.
