byte-compile the code, e.g. with `benchmark-run-compiled`.

Presumably that code will be compiled in the end, so you want to compare
the performance of the compiled versions rather than the performance of
the interpreted versions.
The performance profile of compiled and interpreted code can be
quite different.
