We would want to know if a mempool PR accidentally caused, for example, a 100x slowdown. An `AssembleBlock()` bench exists, but it operates on a mempool with 101 transactions, each with 0 ancestors or descendants and with the same fee. Adding a bench with a more complex mempool is useful because (1) it's more realistic (2) updating packages can potentially cause the algorithm to take a long time.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
