Benchmark results

To monitor check_shapes overhead we regularly run a set of benchmarks. The currently implemented benchmark is to fit a linear model, using gradient descent.

The actual overhead you observe on your code will depend on:

• How many, and what kind of checks you do. The more checks you do, and the more complicated checks you do, the larger your overhead will be.

• How many function calls you make. If you have a few large batches, you will check fewer shapes, and your overhead will be smaller, than if you have many small batches.

For more details about the benchmarks, see their readme and implementation.
