Description
We need to have some tooling to evaluate performance of different implementations. Ideally, this should be automatically, but at least semi-automatically (with some need for manual action but a clearly documented way of doing this).
Among others, this is useful for evaluating #120, but also for all further refactoring work.

Research direction
Start by locating the _to_string() family of functions and review issue #120 to understand the refactoring being evaluated. Define a repeatable automatic or semi-automatic performance evaluation process, document any manual steps clearly, and verify that it can compare different implementations.
