Thank you so much @LebedevRI for guiding me. I recently encountered benchmarking for the first time and began learning about it. Then I realized that this is something where, alongside learning, I can even contribute.

I learned a lot from this process, not just about benchmarking, but how to organize thoughts in a way that makes it easier to understand for others.

Regards.
