Benchmarking to measure performance

To compare the performance of the uutils version of seq with the GNU version of seq, you can use a benchmarking tool like hyperfine. On Ubuntu 18.04 or later, you can install hyperfine by running

sudo apt-get install hyperfine

Next, build the seq binary under the release profile:

cargo build --release -p uu_seq

Finally, you can compare the performance of the two versions of head by running, for example,

hyperfine "seq 1000000" "target/release/seq 1000000"
