Description

One of the benchmarks we run is the parsing of a complex CTIM XTCE packet definition file. At one point this parsing took 12s and is now down to under 100ms and we want it to stay that way.

Add a discussion of this benchmarking to the Documentation Benchmarking section.

Research direction

Start by locating the Documentation Benchmarking section and read its existing structure and examples. Add a discussion of the complex CTIM XTCE packet-definition parsing benchmark, including the improvement from 12 seconds to under 100 ms and the expectation that this performance should be maintained; the section should clearly document this benchmark when done.
