[issue17449] dev guide appears not to cover the benchmarking suite

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Benchmarking is also useful to test that existing patches (that fix bug or add features) don't have a negative effect on the performance.  Some kind of warning that advises against using benchmarks just to try and optimize everything sounds like a good idea though.
