Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Benchmarks will allow developers to test their change and iterate faster simply by recompiling (and saving the binaries) and running the benchmark tests.

Context

PCL has no bench-marking, which allows some regressions to slip through.

Describe the solution you'd like

Research direction

Start by reading the benchmark proposal in this issue, the PCL contributing guidance, and the linked PCL_VoxelGrid_enhanced and pcl-transforms examples. Define an initial benchmark scope, choose between google-benchmark or a similar tool, and determine how a separate benchmarks folder should integrate with the project. Done means the agreed benchmark structure and representative algorithm benchmarks are documented and runnable.
