CPU Profiling:
# Profile a benchmark with perf
perf record -F 99 -g cargo bench --bench scipix_ocr
# Generate flamegraph
perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | flamegraph.pl > flamegraph.svg
# Or use cargo-flamegraph directly

Summary
This benchmarking strategy provides:
- Comprehensive Performance Metrics: Latency, throughput, memory, and model loading benchmarks
- Accuracy Validation: CER, WER, BLEU, and ERR metrics with industry-standard datasets
- Competitive Analysis: Baseline comparisons with Scipix, pix2tex, ocrs, and Tesseract
- Production-Ready Implementation: Criterion.rs benchmarks with CI/CD integration
- Advanced Profiling: CPU, memory, and GPU profiling tools
- Regression Protection: Automated detection and alerting for performance degradation
Next Steps:
- Set up test datasets (Im2latex, CROHME)
- Implement core benchmark suite
- Establish performance baselines
- Integrate into CI/CD pipeline
- Configure alerting for regressions
- Regular benchmark reviews and optimization
