Introduce an experimental benchmarking utility for Arti
The new arti-bench
crate does a simple end-to-end benchmark test
embedding Arti: it generates some random data (of configurable amount,
depending on command-line parameters), and then sends said data back and
forth via Arti (which should be configured to use a local Chutney
network).
Additionally, the benchmark can also be run via a local SOCKS5 server (in order to benchmark the performance via a local Chutney node, for comparison).
The tests/chutney/arti-bench.sh
sets up and tears down Chutney as
required to make this work.
This is very much a first cut; there are many things that should eventually get added, such as support for multiple connections, JSON output capabilities, running multiple tests, ...
