 Hyperfine will automatically determine the number of runs to perform for each command. By default,
-it will perform *at least* 10 benchmarking runs and estimate a run count targeting roughly
-3 seconds, including shell overhead and preparation and conclusion commands. To set an exact
-number of runs, you can use the `-r`/`--runs` option:
