+# Platform microbenchmarks
+
+Platform microbenchmarks benchmarks specific low-level operations used
+by the gecko platform. If a test regresses, it could result in the
+degradation in the performance of some user-visible feature.
+
+The list of tests and their descriptions is currently incomplete. If
+something is missing, please search for it in the gecko source and
+update this page (or ask the original author to do so, if you're still
+not sure).
+
+## String tests
+
+* PerfStripWhitespace
+* PerfCompressWhitespace
+* PerfStripCharsWhitespace
+* PerfStripCRLF
+* PerfStripCharsCRLF
+
+These tests measure the amount of time it takes to perform a large
+number of operations on low-level strings.
