Changes
I hope the README explains this PR. But one additional nice thing to look at is a screenshot from the Criterion report 😍
Obviously big caveat to the numbers. Running on my personal laptop, with other process activity, etc. But nice to see what the reports can look like!
Issues
One potential issue with these benchmarks is that
Grammar::generate
relies on random seeds. Currently there is no public API for generating with a static, controlled seed for reliable benchmarking. This introduces some chance to that benchmark, but hopefully it is small noise in the big picture. On my machine, I observed ~2% of performance drift between randomGrammar::generate
benchmarks.
