I’ve mentioned a few times recently that something is a “microbenchmark.” What does that mean? Is it good or bad?Let’s talk about that.

Knowing what can go wrong in benchmarks is like learning to spot bad statistics: it’s not easy, but some practice and a few useful principles can help you out a lot.
