This commit adds a simple MVP benchmark, built on our nix
infrastructure instead of cargo. It simply runs `tvix-eval` inside
of GNU time, and prints the three essential statistics in a short
JSON blob.
You can run the benchmark with a simple `nix run`, like:
nix run -f . tvix.cli.benchmark-hello
nix run -f . tvix.cli.benchmark-firefox
nix run -f . tvix.cli.benchmark-cross-firefox
Currently these blobs are stored only in the CI logs, which I'm sure
get garbage-collected at some point. We should be putting them in
the git trailers, but that can wait for a future CL.
I tried using `cargo bench` for this but found it incredibly
frustrating. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. It seems to be designed for
microbenchmarks only, and very hard to control. It kept building
all sorts of unnecessary stuff (like the tests), and unlike
crate2nix it was doing all the builds on only a single machine
instead of using more than one machine. Worse, for that single
machine it kept picking my laptop instead of my fast servers! It
seems excessively cargo-flavored for such a straightforward task.
