Criterium is a benchmarking library for Clojure that measures expression computation time while addressing JVM benchmarking pitfalls. It applies statistical processing, JIT warm-up periods, and GC purging to produce reliable timing results.

Use cases

• benchmark a clojure expression
• measure function execution time on the jvm
• get statistically sound microbenchmarks in clojure
• avoid jit warm-up bias when benchmarking
• compare performance of clojure code snippets

When to choose

• you need reliable JVM benchmarking with JIT warm-up and GC isolation
• you want statistical quantiles and outlier analysis for timings
• you are benchmarking Clojure code

When to avoid

• you need benchmarking outside the JVM/Clojure ecosystem
• you want a stable API - the 0.5.x master branch is alpha with breaking changes
• you need continuous profiling rather than expression benchmarking
