+## Benchmarks
+
+To run benchmarks:
+
+```sh
+# All benchmarks.
+cargo bench --package postgres_ffi
+
+# Specific file.
+cargo bench --package postgres_ffi --bench waldecoder
+
+# Specific benchmark.
+cargo bench --package postgres_ffi --bench waldecoder complete_record/size=1024
+
+# List available benchmarks.
+cargo bench --package postgres_ffi --benches -- --list
+
+# Generate flamegraph profiles using pprof-rs, profiling for 10 seconds.
+# Output in target/criterion/*/profile/flamegraph.svg.
+cargo bench --package postgres_ffi --bench waldecoder complete_record/size=1024 -- --profile-time 10
+```
+
+Additional charts and statistics are available in `target/criterion/report/index.html`.
+
+Benchmarks are automatically compared against the previous run. To compare against other runs, see
+`--baseline` and `--save-baseline`.
