I'm not sure offhand what's up with the large variance for size=16386, especially since trying the same n value as the other cases actually resulted in an even larger variance. Anyway, the actual numbers don't really matter so much as the trend.

It should be sufficient to just keep e.g., 0, 512 and 16386. The other options are just intermediate steps.

FWIW I copied this from buffer-compare.js, does that mean that should be changed as well?

That would IMO be ideal 👍

Need to add difflen to test/benchmark/test-benchmark-buffer so that it still passes?

Confirmed. This is needed. I tried to add a fixup commit but I don't have permission to the branch.

LGTM but needs a change to avoid breaking test-benchmark-buffer

Shouldn't the test fail if it was breaking?

benchmark tests only run nightly in CI and only if you run make test-all locally. I'd be +1 on running them a bit more widely, but we scaled it back when people complained about tests taking too long and benchmark test in particular being unreliable in certain environments, IIRC.

Super minor optional nit: The rest of the options are alphabetized. Can this go after line 14 intstead?
