Original benchmark - https://github.com/okuramasafumi/alba/tree/main/benchmark
This directory contains a few different benchmark scripts. They all use inline Bundler definitions so you can run them
by ruby benchmark/collection.rb for instance.
As a reference, here's the benchmark result run in my (@okuramasafumi) machine.

Conclusion: panko is extremely fast but it's a C extension gem. As pure Ruby gems, Alba, turbostreamer
and jserializer are notably faster than others, but Alba is slightly slower than other two.
