//! Benchmarks where smarm's design has a structural advantage.
//!
//! These exist to show what the green-thread + stackful model buys you. The
//! single-thread numbers are the most interesting ones — they isolate the
//! per-switch / per-task cost from any contention story.
//!
//! Workloads:
//! 9. deep_recursion — actor recurses 1000 deep then returns. In
//! smarm this is plain stack recursion on the
//! growable mmap'd stack. In tokio, async fn
//! can't directly recurse — each level must
//! `Box::pin` its future. We measure both.
//! 10. yield_in_hot_loop — 2 actors ping yield_now back and forth 500k
//! times. Pure context-switch cost; no
//! channels, no allocation, no contention.
//! Smarm's switch is ~6 GPRs + xmm save and a
//! `ret`; tokio's is poll → state-machine →
//! schedule.
//! 11. uncontended_channel — single producer, single consumer, 1M msgs,
//! single-threaded runtime. With no
//! cross-thread contention, smarm's
//! Arc<Mutex<>> channel is essentially free,
//! and the green-thread switch should beat
//! tokio's future polling overhead.
//! 12. catch_unwind_panics — spawn 10k tasks; half panic, half succeed.
//! Supervisor handles each. Exploratory — if
//! there's no real gap, drop this one.
