Oh wow, awesome @TanmayDhobale, it looks awesome!
I aborted the CI as it's been running for 1h40 now 😂
Do you know what could be wrong with it?
Thanks for this contribution, it's going to be super useful for some incoming features, so we'll merge it ASAP.

This is really cool! I've never done bench testing with rust before, this was very informative for me!

One bigger refactor request: rather than adding new dependencies to core, can we add a new bench crate to the root of the project (in the crates folder)? This crate can pull the benchmark crates as well as surfpool-core as a dependency.

yea thanks !now we created the new crates/bench crate in the root crates folder and it pulls
in surfpool-core as a dependency
