What's the best way to benchmark a change in the Arrow codebase? Is kotlinx benchmark the way to go? I've restarted work on

value class Option

and I think it's ready for me to benchmark and present the results in a PR.

I don't have a lot of experience with benchmarking Kotlin, but I think KotlinX Benchmark is the way to go yes. In the passed I've only benchmarked some stuff on Kotlin JVM using JMH.

Yeah it turns out Kotlinx benchmark basically acts as a wrapper on the JVM for JMH, but it does the heavy lifting on other platforms. Ended up using it for simplicity of setup. Will make a new PR soon for

value class Option

alongside the benchmark results and commentary about the impacts of the refactoring
