 1.  **Baseline**: run the benchmark (for a single generation task)
     ```bash
-    $ sglang generate --model-path <model> --prompt "A benchmark prompt" --perf-dump-path baseline.json
+    $ sglang generate --model-path <model> --prompt "A benchmark prompt" --perf-dump-path baseline.json [--warmup]

 2.  **New**: run the same benchmark, without modifying any server_args or sampling_params
     ```bash
-    $ sglang generate --model-path <model> --prompt "A benchmark prompt" --perf-dump-path new.json
+    $ sglang generate --model-path <model> --prompt "A benchmark prompt" --perf-dump-path new.json [--warmup]

 3.  **Compare**: run the compare script, which will print a Markdown table to the console
