[FEA]: Benchmark ST_Distance

[isVoid]

Is this a new feature, an improvement, or a change to existing functionality?

Improvement

How would you describe the priority of this feature request

Medium

Please provide a clear description of problem you would like to solve.

Update 06/05/2023:

This line of work is now being divided into two steps:

1. Making a good geometry generator that generates a varied distribution of geometry arrays.
2. Write benchmarks for the distance APIs and report findings.

Original

We need to write a comprehensive test suite for ST_distance components to understand how the current kernels performs. This can also help answer all sorts of small performance suggestions in code review.

Part of this work is blocking #1061, without benchmarking the kernels we cannot make a decision when to switch to alternative kernel designs.
