+# benchmarks |
+ |
+This directory contains mojo applications that are run as performance benchmarks |
+by [mojo_benchmark](../mojo/devtools/common/mojo_benchmark). |
+ |
+See also: |
+ - [documentation](../mojo/devtools/common/docs/mojo_benchmark.md) for |
+ `mojo_benchmark` |
+ |
+## Legacy benchmarks |
+`benchmark_runner.py` and the `startup` benchmark are the remainings of the |
+previous take on performance benchmarks. These can be dropped once we can track |
+startup time of the shell itself using the new system. |
