+# Lance Graph Benchmarks
+
+Performance benchmarks for the `lance-graph` crate.
+
+## Running Benchmarks
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```bash
+# Run all benchmarks
+cargo bench -p lance-graph-benches
+
+# Run specific benchmark
+cargo bench -p lance-graph-benches --bench graph_execution
+```
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+- **graph_execution**: End-to-end query execution benchmarks
+  - Basic node filtering and projection
+  - Single-hop relationship expansion
+  - Two-hop relationship expansion
+  - Tests with datasets of varying sizes (100, 10K, 1M rows)
+
+## Note
+
+This crate is not published to crates.io and is excluded from releases.
+It exists solely for performance testing during development.
