Request: Add Benchmarks and Integrate Performance Testing into CI/CD

[leonibr]

To ensure the long-term performance and reliability of this library, I propose adding a dedicated benchmark project and integrating performance checks into our CI/CD pipeline.

Motivation

• Performance is critical for caching and database-related libraries.
• We currently have unit and integration tests, but no automated way to detect performance regressions.
• Adding benchmarks will help us:
  • Track performance over time.
  • Detect regressions before they reach production.
  • Make informed decisions about optimizations and refactoring.

Benefits

• Early detection of performance regressions.
• Data-driven performance improvements.
• Increased confidence in the library’s reliability for users.
