description:
Run and collect timings comparing parallel implementation in DOLFIN and Parafin:

Conclusions:

- New DOLFIN much more efficient at assembly than old DOLFIN (0.8)
- Parallel implementations very close in speed
- Parafin parses XML at bit faster, but that is likely the result of
  using the old DOLFIN XML parser (which has been replaced)
- Room for improvement in new build() stage
