# BENCHMARKS


- Use `criterion` for microbenchmarks (eval throughput).
- Dataset-level timing: fit to Friedman1 and report wall-clock and MSE.
- Compare feature toggles: scalar vs SIMD, parallel vs single-thread.

## 8) Branching model (with a `porting` branch)


- `main`: stable, tagged releases.
- `develop`: integration of ready features.
- `porting`: **all work specific to parity with SymbolicRegression.jl** (feature-by-feature ports, benchmarks, notes). Merge into `develop` via PRs when each slice reaches MVP.
- Per-feature branches from `porting` (e.g., `porting/const-fitting`, `porting/egg-rewrites`).


**Initial commands:**
```bash
git init
git checkout -b main
git add . && git commit -m "feat: repo scaffold"
git checkout -b develop
git checkout -b porting
