Benchmark data-loading #242
Description
It might be good to have an easy way to see if the data loading is a bottleneck of the GPU is a bottleneck.
In a second stage, it might be useful to be able to automatically generate a binary file, such as tfrecords, from a specified config file and then load the data from the tf records.
That allows the user to be able to work normally and if the data I/O is the bottleneck, it is automatically binarized to improve performance.
