For my own "fast" projects[1] I've taken to providing benchmarks, but adding a big 'ol caveat at the top describing ways in which the benchmark may not reflect reality. Some people really want to see benchmarks! Others are turned off by projects that overreach on performance claims. I'm hopeful that adding context around benchmarks to tamper excitement strikes the right balance.[1]: https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/benchmarks.html
