Bench Compare

Benchmark Comparison

Compare performance of the current branch against master using hyperfine.

Workflow

1. Note the current branch name and ensure working tree is clean (stash if needed)
2. Build the library in release mode on the current branch: cargo build --release
3. Run the user-specified benchmark or test command with hyperfine, e.g.:

   hyperfine --warmup 3 --min-runs 10 'cargo test --release <test_name>'
   

4. Record the result (mean, stddev, min, max)
5. Switch to master: git checkout master
6. Build release: cargo build --release
7. Run the same benchmark with hyperfine
8. Record the result
9. Switch back to the original branch (and pop stash if used)
10. Report a comparison table:

Arguments

The user should provide:

• The benchmark command or test name to run
• Optionally: number of warmup runs and min runs (defaults: 3 warmup, 10 runs)

Notes

• Always build with --release for meaningful benchmarks
• If the user doesn't specify a command, ask what to benchmark
• Use hyperfine --export-markdown if the user wants a shareable report
