Jimmy7892 4ad1c0d284 bench: attendre que PyPI serve la version au lieu d'echouer sur sa propagation
PyPI accepte un televersement bien avant que son index le serve. Mesure sur la
publication de 0.18.0: le televersement s'est termine a 01:48:18 et ce workflow
a demande la version a 01:48:50, trente-deux secondes plus tard, pour se faire
repondre "from versions: ..., 0.17.3".

Ce n'est pas un hasard de timing. Le workflow est declenche par
`release: published`, et cette release est creee juste apres le televersement:
la course est donc GARANTIE a chaque publication. Elle n'avait jamais pu se voir
parce que ce chemin n'avait jamais tourne sur une vraie release, seulement sur
des declenchements manuels ou la version existait depuis longtemps.

Les deux jobs attendent desormais que l'index serve la version, jusqu'a dix
minutes, contre soixante de budget. `--no-cache-dir` parce que pip met en cache
la reponse de l'index, y compris celle qui ne connait pas encore la version: sans
cela les tentatives suivantes reliraient la meme reponse perimee.

Logique verifiee sur quatre cas avant de pousser (disponible tout de suite,
disponible apres trois echecs, jamais disponible donc echec franc, et pas de
version imposee), plutot que de la decouvrir a la prochaine release.

# The benchmark runs here, in the open, on standard GitHub-hosted runners.
#
# Nothing in this workflow has access to the engine source: it installs the
# published wheel from PyPI, exactly like any user would. That is what makes the
# result independent rather than self-reported, and it is why anyone can fork
# this repository and press "Run workflow" to reproduce the numbers on their own
# runner. Same for the engines it is compared against: they come from PyPI at
# pinned versions, and the run prints the versions it resolved.

# Three points, sized from what this runner actually did rather than

# 20,000 bars, 1.16 ms for vectorbt, 1.34 ms for raptorbt, and 15.0 ms
# for raptorbt at 200,000 bars.
#
# The first point is the only one vectorbt can hold: at 20,000 bars it
# materialises 1.57 MB per combination, so 5,000 of them already cost it
# 2.5 GB and 20,000 would need 31 GB. The other two are out of its
# scope, and they are where a sweep stops being a speed comparison and
# becomes a capability one.
#
# raptorbt sets the budget, not manifoldbt: with no fan-out API its
# sweep is a Python loop, so it costs a full backtest per cell. That is
# why the large point goes deep in combinations on short series rather
# than the reverse -- 20,000 combinations on 20,000 bars costs it 27 s a
# call, where 5,000 combinations on a million bars would cost it 25 min.
