Benchmarking
============

Bitcoin ABC has an internal benchmarking framework, with benchmarks
for cryptographic algorithms such as SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, RIPEMD160,
the rolling bloom filter, address encoding and decoding, CCoinsCaching,
memory pool eviction, and wallet coin selection.

After compiling bitcoin-abc, the benchmarks can be run with:
`src/bench/bench_bitcoin`

The output will look similar to:
```

More benchmarks are needed for, in no particular order:
- Script Validation
- Coins database
- Memory pool
