Jukka Aho 2cbb382ca8 feat(benchmark): Validate O(n) vs O(1) struct scaling hypothesis
- Tests 1 to 5000 fields to find crossover point
- Confirms stack copying is O(n) at 0.16 ns/field
- Confirms Dict mutation is O(1) at 7 ns constant
- Crossover at 100 fields (800 bytes) for updates
- Typical FEM elements (20-60 fields) well below crossover
- Immutable wins for access and iteration at ALL sizes
- Generates 5 publication-quality plots
- Exports JSON + CSV with system specs
- System: Intel Xeon Gold 6326, 32 cores, 503 GB RAM
