I am surprised to see that there isn't a lot of information about performance regression testing.

Correctness testing is important but the way SQLLite is used, potential performance drops in specific code paths or specific type of queries could be really bad for apps that use it in critical paths.

While I’ve worked in HFT and understand the sentiment, I can’t recall any open-source project I’ve used coming out with performance guarantees. Most use license language setting no guarantee or warranty. Are there notable projects that do include this consideration as their core mission?
