Does anyone know if there are any performance benchmarks or scaling analysis results for SimPEGs _forward_ modeling methods? I’ve looked around, and I can only find information on the inverse step.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Are (or should) these results included in the official SimPEG documentation?
