This is a test of changing out the current criterion microbenchmark tool
to [Divan](https://nikolaivazquez.com/blog/divan/), a new and more
straightforward microbenchmark suit.
Itself states it is robust to noise, and even allow it to be used in CI
settings. It by default has no external dependencies and is very fast to
run, the sampling method allows it to be a lot faster compared to
criterion requiring less samples.
The output is also nicely displayed and easy to get a quick overview of
the performance.

Divan benchmarks

These are benchmarks using Divan, a microbenchmarking tool for Rust.

Run all benchmarks with cargo bench

Or run individual benchmarks like cargo bench -- <regex> e.g. cargo bench -- parse
