Benchmarking Rich

This directory contains benchmarks, for monitoring the performance of Rich over time.

The benchmarks use a tool called Airspeed Velocity (asv), and we've configured it in asv.conf.json.

Running Benchmarks

We strongly recommend running asv run --help for a full list of options, but here are some common actions:

• You can run the benchmarks against the master branch with asv run.
• To test the most recent commit on your branch asv run HEAD^!.
• To generate a static website for browsing the results, run asv publish. The resulting HTML can be found in benchmarks/html.

The asv docs have some more examples here.
