Description

Toplev seems very interesting to identify bottlenecks.

Let's use it and compare the results to our current champion PISA. We want different report for intersections, union, and phrase queries.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Set up toplev (a Linux perf tool wrapper) to profile Tantivy's search benchmarks. Focus on measuring CPU bottlenecks for intersection, union, and phrase queries. Compare results with PISA's profiles. Look for differences in cache misses, branch mispredictions, or instruction stalls.
