## Benchmarks

### Basic Benchmarks

```go
func BenchmarkProcess(b *testing.B) {
    data := generateTestData(1000)
    b.ResetTimer() // Don't count setup time

    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        Process(data)
    }
}

// Run: go test -bench=BenchmarkProcess -benchmem
// Output: BenchmarkProcess-8   10000   105234 ns/op   4096 B/op   10 allocs/op
```

### Benchmark with Different Sizes

```go
func BenchmarkSort(b *testing.B) {
    sizes := []int{100, 1000, 10000, 100000}

    for _, size := range sizes {
        b.Run(fmt.Sprintf("size=%d", size), func(b *testing.B) {
            data := generateRandomSlice(size)
            b.ResetTimer()

            for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
                // Make a copy to avoid sorting already sorted data
                tmp := make([]int, len(data))
                copy(tmp, data)
                sort.Ints(tmp)
            }
        })
    }
}
```

### Memory Allocation Benchmarks

```go
func BenchmarkStringConcat(b *testing.B) {
    parts := []string{"hello", "world", "foo", "bar", "baz"}

    b.Run("plus", func(b *testing.B) {
        for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
            var s string
            for _, p := range parts {
                s += p
            }
            _ = s
        }
    })

    b.Run("builder", func(b *testing.B) {
        for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
            var sb strings.Builder
            for _, p := range parts {
                sb.WriteString(p)
            }
            _ = sb.String()
        }
    })

    b.Run("join", func(b *testing.B) {
        for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
            _ = strings.Join(parts, "")
        }
    })
}
```
