## Benchmarking

Repository includes a benchmark that allows to measure the worst-case impact of using live controllers with plugs on the web app:

```
$ mix run priv/bench/bench.exs
inline compile: 0.038
inline run: 0.026
plug_atom compile: 0.233
plug_atom run: 0.155
plug_func compile: 0.234
plug_func run: 0.148
