 Example: `hyperfine "target/release/coreutils sort shuffled_numbers_si.txt -h -o output.txt"` becomes
 `hyperfine "target/release/coreutils sort shuffled_numbers_si.txt -h -o output.txt" "sort shuffled_numbers_si.txt -h -o output.txt"`
 (This assumes GNU sort is installed as `sort`)
+
+## Memory and CPU usage
+
+The above benchmarks use hyperfine to measure the speed of sorting. There are however other useful metrics to determine overall
+resource usage. One way to measure them is the `time` command. This is not to be confused with the `time` that is built in to the bash shell.
+You may have to install `time` first, then you have to run it with `/bin/time -v` to give it precedence over the built in `time`.
