   1 Benchmarking
   2 ============
   3
   4 Bitcoin Core has an internal benchmarking framework, with benchmarks
   5 for cryptographic algorithms such as SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 and RIPEMD160. As well as the rolling bloom filter.
   6
   7 After compiling bitcoin-core, the benchmarks can be run with:
   8 `src/bench/bench_bitcoin`
   9
  10 The output will look similar to:
  11 ```
