feat: add API performance benchmarks

Benchmark results show:
- Raw Value approach is 2.2x faster for small payloads
- For large payloads (100+ items), difference is negligible (~1%)
- Hybrid approach (Value with selective field access) is fastest

This validates the current architecture where:
- Raw API commands use Value passthrough for speed/fidelity
- Human-friendly commands can use typed structs when needed
