+How to interpret these results:
+- CPU is your CPU model.
+- OS is your current operating system.
+- Model is the GGML model being benchmarked.
+- Threads is the number of threads used.
+- Total Load is the total amount of CPU time whisper took to load the model.
+- Real Load is the real amount of time your computer took to load the model.
+- Total Encode is the total amount of CPU time whisper took to encode the input.
+  If you're using multiple threads, the time spent in each thread will be added together.
+- Real Encode is the real amount of time your computer took to encode the input.
+  This should be approximately (Total Encode / Threads). If it isn't, you likely have another program making use of the CPU.
+- Commit is the current git commit.
