Benchmarking

[laumair]

Description

We need to do benchmarks for native (and for all bindings) and have them documented with the codebase.

Motivation

It would be nice to have the operations of the library benchmarked under different settings. Well documented benchmarks would help us in being confident about the scalability of the library and would also help consumers in making decisions around using this package.

Requirements

Open for discussion what operations should be benchmarked. From my point of view, these should be covered:

1. Address generation;
2. Syncing process (node on the same machine vs node on a different machine);
3. Signing process;
4. Ledger related operations

We should also brainstorm what other operations we could benchmark.
