Fixed the benchmark not to rely on unstable features; surprisingly, this slightly improved the performance of the benchmark code, |

please create a BENCHMARKING.md file like src/uu/ls/BENCHMARKING.md to reproduce your benchmark :) |
OK? Though I'm not sure what I'd say beyond “run |
This is good enough :) |

@sylvestre Do you agree it would make sense to use something like iai in factor's CI, and automatically report significant performance changes on the PR's discussion?

why not? Are you aware of any success story with iai ?

Not yet, but the tool is very new. I seem to recall (non-Rust) projects having decent success using cachegrind in CI that way, though.
This will be easier to adapt to working with multiple numbers to process at once.
The factor_chunk implementation is a strawman, but getting it in place allows us to set up the microbenchmarking etc.
This keeps the traversal of `P_INVS_U64` (a large table) to a single pass in-order, rather than `CHUNK_SIZE` passes.
Previous version would perform an amount of work proportional to `CHUNK_SIZE`, so this wasn't a valid way to benchmark at multiple values of that constant. The `TryInto` implementation for `&mut [T]` to `&mut [T; N]` relies on `const` generics, and is available in (stable) Rust v1.51 and later.

Tests are blocked on BurntSushi/quickcheck#282, so let's move ahead for now. |
