Benchmarking

Running benchmarks in Rust is done via cargo bench, a specific command for cargo which is executing all the methods annotated with the #[bench] attribute. This attribute is currently unstable and available only for the nightly channel.

.NET users can make use of Benchmark.js library to benchmark methods and track their performance. The equivalent of Benchmark.js is a crate named Criterion.

As per its documentation, Criterion collects and stores statistical information from run to run and can automatically detect performance regressions as well as measuring optimizations.

Using Criterion is possible to use the #[bench] attribute without moving to the nightly channel.
