What are some effective tools for benchmarking NumPy performance?

There are several tools you can use for benchmarking NumPy performance, such as timeit, perf, and line_profiler.

Can you explain how to use the timeit module for benchmarking?

Sure! You can use the timeit module by wrapping the code you want to benchmark in a function and calling timeit.timeit with that function.

Are there any specific examples or best practices for using timeit?

Yes, a best practice is to run the benchmark multiple times to get an average time, which helps account for variability.

What about using perf? How does it compare to timeit?

Perf is more advanced and provides statistical analysis, while timeit is simpler and great for quick benchmarks.
