Research direction

Start by reviewing dependencies #35 (pkg/tar-diff tests) and #36 (pkg/tar-patch tests), then identify the diff generation, patch application, rolling checksum, and bsdiff entry points. Add benchmarks for the listed file sizes, similarity levels, and critical paths, a documented baseline, a make benchmark target, and optional CI execution.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Create benchmarks to establish performance baselines and track regressions.

Tasks

  • Benchmark patch application
  • Benchmark rolling checksum computation
  • Benchmark bsdiff for different similarity levels
  • Add make benchmark target

Acceptance Criteria

  • Benchmark suite covers critical code paths
  • Performance baseline documented
  • CI can optionally run benchmarks

Dependencies

  • Depends on #35 (pkg/tar-diff tests)
  • Depends on #36 (pkg/tar-patch tests)
