Benchmarking in docs

[roaldarbol]

Hi @SebKrantz!

First of all happy new year!

I'm really fond of the fastverse, and use it as one of my go-to places for locating the fastest packages around for different tasks. But I'd really love to see some benchmarking for various different functions to make it easier to figure out what the gains are and what under which scenarios one package should be preferred to another one. So it would take the fastverse from being just a metapackage, to also being a knowledge bank. It's maybe something that the community around the package could contribute (I recently made an extensive benchmark of rolling functions which I'd be happy to have live in the fastverse too.

The thought struck me as I was looking into the fastest CSV reader functions; there are of course various blog posts distributed across the web, but I'd consider the fastverse my go-to place work speed optimisation. :-)

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Cheers,
Mikkel

Thanks! Also for sharing your benchmarks. I'm open to have a section on Benchmarks in the README or possibly a separate file that gets displayed in a separate tab on the website. It would be something users like you can contribute (I'm not going to benchmark all of those packages). I think this is indeed a good idea!

Haha, I do like the idea! But maybe we can start without it and see how it would work once there are a few benchmarks in there? It also seems that some of them would only touch certain types of tests, e.g. B and C.

Hi, can we launch this? Let me prepare a md. You can change it afterwards.

Hi Sebastian! Yeah of course, sorry, I dropped the ball - thesis submission is in 4 weeks so forgot about everything else for a while.

I added it now: wiki page + link on website. Hope you are happy. Feel free to share or make edits.

Looks great!
