Description

The default settings for "archery benchmark" in my opinion are a bit too exhaustive in their attempt to produce high precision numbers. I suggest that the default sacrifice precision for speed, while leaving the "neurotic" / high-precision mode as something that users can opt in to.

This would ease interactive use for developers
