4.4 Benchmarks (optional)

A benchmark is a comparative performance analysis. The goal of a benchmark is to reveal the performance tradeoffs made in your implementation. Accordingly, the ideal benchmark compares the actual time/space requirements of your implementation with a range of alternative implementations in a realistic application. In practice, a benchmark should compare your implementation to at least one alternative implementation in a realistic sequence of function calls.
