Running
---------------------
For benchmarks purposes you only need to compile `bitcoin_bench`. Beware of configuring without `--enable-debug` as this would impact
benchmarking by unlatching log printers and lock analysis.
For benchmarking, you only need to compile `bitcoin_bench`. The bench runner
warns if you configure with `--enable-debug`, but consider if building without
it will impact the benchmark(s) you are interested in by unlatching log printers
and lock analysis.

To print options like scaling factor or per-benchmark filter.
To print the various options, like listing the benchmarks without running them
or using a regex filter to only run certain benchmarks.
