Objective

We want to measure performance on path reflection parsing.

Solution

Benchmark path-based reflection:

  • Add a benchmark for ParsedPath::parse

It's fairly noisy, this is why I added the 3% threshold.

Ideally we would fix the noisiness though. Supposedly I'm seeding the RNG correctly, so there shouldn't be much observable variance. Maybe someone can help spot the issue.

space here ideally :P

nitpick: would also accept inlining this since it's only used in one place, optionally moving the seed to a named const, but not necessary.

I re-used the function from benches/benches/bevy_ecs/world/world_get.rs

fn deterministic_rand() -> ChaCha8Rng {
ChaCha8Rng::seed_from_u64(42)
}

# Objective

All delimiter symbols used by the path parser are ASCII, this means we
can entirely ignore UTF8 handling. This may improve performance.

## Solution

Instead of storing the path as an `&str` + the parser offset, and
reading the path using `&self.path[self.offset..]`, we store the parser
state in a `&[u8]`. This allows two optimizations:

1. Avoid UTF8 checking on `&self.path[self.offset..]`
2. Avoid any kind of bound checking, since the length of what is left to
read is stored in the `&[u8]`'s reference metadata, and is assumed valid
by the compiler.

This is a major improvement when comparing to the previous parser.

1. `access_following` and `next_token` now inline in `PathParser::next`
2. Benchmarking show a 20% performance increase (#9364)

Please note that while we ignore UTF-8 handling, **utf-8 is still
supported**. This is because we only handle "at the edges" what happens
exactly before and after a recognized `SYMBOL`. utf-8 is handled
transparently beyond that.
