Feature Description

Our goal for pyqasm is to scale its performance for large qasm programs and we want to setup a benchmarking suite to test the same. A good starting point would be to see the benchpress repository for a vast set of qasm benchmarks.

Ideally should aim for processing times to be <= 1s for lines <= 10k.

Implementation (Optional)

• A good example is qiskit's asv benchmarks which track the package performance with each commit but might be harder to setup. Reference : asv docs
• Another lightweight tool is pyperf which might be easier to setup but harder to interpret due to lack of a GUI. Moreover, there is no support to see the evolution of performance as a function of the project commit history
