Geth IPC / RPC Bench

Benchmarks comparing Geth's IPC and RPC endpoints. To start the benchmark, run go test -bench=. -count 10. Note that you will need to enable the --http flag when running Geth to expose the RPC endpoint. The current results are listed below.

Testing environment hardware

• Ryzen 5 3400G
• 32G DDR4-3200 RAM
• 1TB WD Black SN750 NVME
