Research direction

Start in src/tests.rs and review the existing data: URI benchmarks. Add a few benchmarks covering color parsing, then compare their results to ensure parsing performance can be tracked for regressions. Done means the color-parsing benchmarks are present alongside the existing benchmarks.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Spinning off from #314:

With the complexities involved with parsing colors, there are concerned about regressing the time it takes to parse them.

Per @emilio:

But it should be rather trivial to add a few benchmarks for color parsing in src/tests.rs like we have for data: uris etc?

We should look into that.
