I've just recently reworked the Math lib performance tests - all 
floating point stuff of course so may or may not be what you're looking 
for ;)

See the libs/math/reporting/performance directory in develop, can 
produce reports such as: 
https://rawgit.com/boostorg/math/develop/reporting/performance/html/index.html, 
you may wish to investigate ::tgamma by the looks of things (see 
https://rawgit.com/boostorg/math/develop/reporting/performance/html/index.html#special_function_and_distributio.section_Library_Comparison_with_Microsoft_Visual_C_version_14_0_on_Windows_x64), 
on the other hand, congratulations on yn ;)

There are also performance tests for multiprecision under 
libs/multiprecision/performance.  No nice tables this time :( However, 
the library does use noexcept and constexpr quite a bit. Whether the 
differences those make are detectable compared to the algorithmic 
overheads is debatable.

HTH, John.
