     5  // Package benchmark provides a Metrics object that enables memory and CPU
     6  // profiling for the linker. The Metrics objects can be used to mark stages
     7  // of the code, and name the measurements during that stage. There is also
     8  // optional GCs that can be performed at the end of each stage, so you
     9  // can get an accurate measurement of how each stage changes live memory.
