"""
ferro_ta vs TA-Lib speed comparison.
Measures throughput (M bars/s) for both libraries on the same data and parameters,
and reports speedup (talib_time / ferro_ta_time; > 1 means ferro_ta is faster).
Requirements:
pip install ta-lib # or conda install ta-lib
Run:
python benchmarks/bench_vs_talib.py
python benchmarks/bench_vs_talib.py --json results.json
python benchmarks/bench_vs_talib.py --sizes 10000 100000 # default: 10k, 100k, 1M
If ta-lib is not installed, the script still runs and reports ferro_ta timings only (no speedup).
Methodology: same synthetic data, same parameters, median of 7 runs after warmup.
Environment: document Python version and OS when publishing results.
