set up criterion/asv benchmarks?

[bluegenes]

..to facilitate comparisons between any utility function changes + prevent regression when developing.

would be good to set up some macro benchmarks too, e.g. using SRR606249.sig.gz in test-data as query...

Note, can't use criterion with cdylib-only build. Recommendations online to add rlib, but that doesn't build on my system (arm mac)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
          clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

could probably get around this - not sure if worthwhile

scripts in /home/ctbrown/scratch3/SRR606249-feb13-2024

github repo for scripts: https://github.com/sourmash-bio/2024-benchmark-branchwater-plugin

srun command I used:

srun -p bmh --time=24:00:00 --nodes=1 --cpus-per-task=64 --mem=50GB --pty /bin/bash

I feel like we could probably do them manually before each release easily enough. The 45 minute one (sourmash gather) should not be automated :)
