Codspeed benchmark for backend state event processing

[masenf]

Prior to the backend event loop, add a benchmark for event processing pipeline.

[greptile-apps]

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a CodSpeed benchmark (test_process_event) for the Reflex backend event-processing pipeline, measuring end-to-end time from calling process() through collecting all emitted StateUpdate deltas for a simple increment handler. The benchmark wires up a real StateManagerMemory and mocks only the app-module lookup, giving a realistic picture of warm and cold state-path performance.

• The fixture is well-structured and correctly isolates benchmark setup from the timed section.
• expected_deltas / delta_count variables are declared and incremented, but the critical assertion (assert delta_count == expected_deltas) is never made — a broken pipeline would yield 0 updates without raising any error, producing misleading benchmark numbers.
• asyncio.get_event_loop() in the synchronous test body is deprecated in Python 3.10+ and should be replaced with asyncio.new_event_loop().
• The module-level docstring references an asyncio.Event-based design that was never implemented; it should be updated to match the actual contextlib.aclosing approach.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Benchmark results may silently reflect a broken pipeline until the missing delta-count assertion is added

A single P1 finding (missing assertion hiding silent processing failures) prevents a score of 5; all other issues are P2

tests/benchmarks/test_event_processing.py — specifically the run_events async helper and the module docstring
