Bencher::Scenario::ListFlatten - Benchmark various List::Flatten implementaitons
This document describes version 0.001 of Bencher::Scenario::ListFlatten (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenario-ListFlatten), released on 2018-01-21.
To run benchmark with default option:
% bencher -m ListFlatten
To run module startup overhead benchmark:
% bencher --module-startup -m ListFlatten
For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.
bencher --help
Packaging a benchmark script as a Bencher scenario makes it convenient to include/exclude/add participants/datasets (either via CLI or Perl code), send the result to a central repository, among others . See Bencher and bencher (CLI) for more details.
Version numbers shown below are the versions used when running the sample benchmark.
List::Flatten 0.01
List::Flatten::XS 0.04

List::Flatten::flat(@{<data>})
List::Flatten::XS::flatten (perl_code)

In general, from the provided benchmark datasets, I don't see the advantage of using the XS implementation.
