  Run each benchmark in the <category> directory many times using two different
  node versions. More than one <category> directory can be specified.
  The output is formatted as csv, which can be processed using for
  example 'compare.R'.

  --new      ./new-node-binary  new node binary (required)
  --old      ./old-node-binary  old node binary (required)
  --runs     30                 number of samples
  --filter   pattern            includes only benchmark scripts matching
                                <pattern> (can be repeated)
  --exclude  pattern            excludes scripts matching <pattern> (can be
                                repeated)
  --set      variable=value     set benchmark variable (can be repeated)
  --no-progress                 don't show benchmark progress indicator

  Examples:
    --set CPUSET=0            Runs benchmarks on CPU core 0.
    --set CPUSET=0-2          Specifies that benchmarks should run on CPU cores 0 to 2.

  Note: The CPUSET format should match the specifications of the 'taskset' command
