Looks good!

Looking deeper into the functions being benchmarked, aren't they executing much more than just the fhe execution? Perhaps we should see lower level functions to benchmark

I don't think so, because otherwise we could simply use tfhe-rs benchmarks. For example, right now we realise there is an issue so it's useful ;)

I would agree if the functions we were benchmarking were fhevm function, but what's currently being benchmarked are test functions that never runs when executing the fhevm, so the numbers can be misleading due to an error in the test code, or an update to the test functions.

The ultimate goal is just to have a rough idea of timings for estimate gas prices. I think it's useful to have these benchmarks. I can close the PR since I get the the values for update gas prices, but I'm pretty sure it will be useful in 3 or 6 months to reestimate gas prices.

My only fear is that it's confused with fhevm benchmarks while it's a little bit more than that

Would you prefer I rename it to "gas_estimation" ?

[youben11]

Yes, I guess we can merge it if it's "gas estimation" in the tests and Makefile

[youben11]

I think you forgot to rename the file as well
