Description

As a follow up to PR #1499 which aims to add resource utilization tests using the very popular Scalene library, we want a more automated and easily reproducible method of reporting the results of these tests other than having users run them on their own machines.

Something that integrates with CI like we have for the benchmark tests would be great but is probably secondary to just finding a way to report how resource utilization changes from PR to PR.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #1499 and the existing benchmark-test integration linked in the issue. Then examine how Scalene measurements could be collected and compared across pull requests in a reproducible environment. Done means the project has an agreed reporting approach, with CI automation if feasible, for tracking resource-utilization changes.
