How deeply does The Art of Code cover benchmark?

Defines isolated measurement and names frameworks, then defers deeper CPU, allocation, and memory-layout analysis to profilers and JOL.

Benchmark

As explained in The Art of Code

A microbenchmark is a controlled performance measurement of a small code operation or component.

A microbenchmark measures a small code operation or component in isolation. It provides a focused way to compare runtime behavior when efficient code and small memory footprints matter. section 8.5.2

Choose a framework suited to the language:

JMH for Java. section 8.5.2
BenchmarkDotNet for .NET. section 8.5.2
pytest-benchmark for Python. section 8.5.2

Use profiling when a small measurement is not enough: profilers can reveal CPU behavior and memory allocation, while object-layout tools inspect actual memory footprints. section 8.5.2
