Description

This can impact performance quite a lot in otherwise fast functions (have seen 20-30%) and is probably a left over from "let's make this #[test] a #[bench]mark as well" conversions.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the lint implementations and tests for #[bench] functions and println! handling in rust-clippy, then determine how a warning should be emitted only for println! statements inside benchmarks. Done means the intended benchmark case is covered by a test and the warning behavior is verified.
