Description

We would like to explicitly compare the timing for photon-shooting vs. DFT branches for various types of profiles. This will be useful for the challenge, but could also be used to give advice for general users.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the photon-shooting and DFT branches and identifying representative profile types, then establish comparable timing runs. Done means documenting timing results across the profiles and using them to support guidance for the challenge and general users.
