Given that this benchmark focuses on V8, shouldn't it be called "v8.news_*"?

Done. I renamed the file too.

Ping on considering moving these benchmarks to benchmarks/system_health.py. 

[ulan, 2016/07/12 14:16:22]

SGTM, I'll wait for Petr's reply before moving.
Any suggestions for benchnmark name? system_health.news?
