+## Benchmarking VirtualArray
+
+Checking the performance of VirtualArray
+
+### To run these BenchMarks
+
+You need `Benchmark.jl`, which you can get [here](https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/Benchmark.jl).
+
+### Test Ran
+
+The code I used to benchmark,
+
+```julia
+num_parents = 1000
+len = 1000
+
+parents = []
+for i in 1:num_parents
+    push!(parents, rand(Int64, len))
+end
+
+virtual_cat_bench() = virtual_cat(1, parents...)
+virtual_vcat_bench() = virtual_vcat(parents...)
+virtual_hcat_bench() = virtual_hcat(parents...)
+constructor_1() = VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(parents...)
+constructor_2() = VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(1, parents...)
+constructor_3() = VirtualArray{Int64, 2}(1, parents...)
+constructor_4() = VirtualArray{Int64, 2}(2, parents...)
+cat_bench() = cat(1, parents...)
+
+num_test = 100
+
+benchmark(virtual_cat_bench, "virtual_cat", "virtual_cat(1, parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(virtual_vcat_bench, "virtual_vcat", "virtual_vcat(parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(virtual_hcat_bench, "virtual_hcat", "virtual_hcat(parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(constructor_1, "constructor_1", "VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(constructor_2, "constructor_2", "VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(1, parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(constructor_3, "constructor_3", "VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(1, parents...)", num_test)
+benchmark(constructor_4, "constructor_4", "VirtualArray{Int64, 2}(2, parents...)", num_test)
+
+v = VirtualArray{Int64, 1}(1, parents...)
+
+get_index_bench1() = v[1]
+get_index_bench2() = v[1000000]
+get_index_bench3() = v[end]
+
+benchmark(get_index_bench1, "getting first index", "v[1]", num_test)
+benchmark(get_index_bench2, "getting last index", "v[1000000]", num_test)
+benchmark(get_index_bench3, "getting last index with end", "v[end]", num_test)
+
+set_index_bench1() = v[1] = 1
+set_index_bench2() = v[1000000] = 1
+set_index_bench3() = v[end] = 1
+
+benchmark(set_index_bench1, "setting first index", "v[1] = 1", num_test)
+benchmark(set_index_bench2, "setting last index", "v[1000000] = 1", num_test)
+benchmark(set_index_bench3, "setting last index with end", "v[end] = 1", num_test)
+
+size_bench() = size(v)
+
+benchmark(size_bench, "size of v", "size(v)", num_test)
+
+length_bench() = length(v)
+
+benchmark(length_bench, "length of v", "length(v)", num_test)
+
+eachindex_bench() = eachindex(v)
+
+benchmark(eachindex_bench, "eachindex of v", "eachindex(v)", num_test)
+```

 The preferred way of using VirtualArrays is through `virtual_cat`. Which is suppose to act like `cat`, as shown below.
