Description

Come up with a reasonably representative set of test loads and monitor how quickly or slowly different versions of tippecanoe can tile them.

The tricky part will be tracking how performance degrades when data is too large to fit in memory. This should separately track:
- large numbers of features
- smaller number of features, but more geometrically complex
- large numbers of attributes
- smaller numbers of attributes, but with less duplication between them

Research direction

Start by defining representative test loads for feature count, geometric complexity, attribute count, and attribute duplication, then determine how to compare tiling speed across tippecanoe versions. Pay particular attention to cases where data exceeds memory. Done means performance results are tracked separately for each requested workload category.
