[basex-talk] What's the best way to do some qualitative benchmarking?

Hi,

For a few new blog posts I'm working on some examples where I compare traditional XQuery code with an Origami example.

I am not looking for scientific answers but I do want to be able to do a more or less fair comparison.

I noticed that when running code from the GUI timings can be quite different from running basex.

Currently I do something like basex -V example/foo.xq or basex -r10 -V example/foo.xq

What would be a honest way of including timings in an article. It's mainly for a qualitative assessment and comparing a traditional solution with an Origami solution. What to look for in the breakdown between parsing/compiling/evaluating and printing.

Tips?

Thanks, and I hope you are all having a good Xmas break.
