+## Benchmarking
+
+There is a small JMH benchmark suite for testing allocations that can be run with:
+
+```sh
+mvn -P benchmark test-compile jmh:benchmark -Djmh.f=1  -Djmh.prof='dev.openfeature.sdk.benchmark.AllocationProfiler'
+```
+
+If you are concerned about the repercussions of a change on memory usage, run this an compare the results to the committed. `benchmark.txt` file.
