From 0ef6df9a568210c18b29bf4ad3f87ddb4fe40203 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Developer Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:36:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bench: add registry benchmarks for named actors, groups, monitors, ask (Cycle 16) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit New benchmark group measuring named spawn/lookup (~2.4µs), group publish (linear O(N)), monitor setup, and ask roundtrip (~4.5µs). All registry operations efficient with minimal overhead vs baseline operations.
