Every room visit and every reconnection asks for the messages updated
since the page was rendered. That query filtered the room by updated_at
and sorted it by created_at, so SQLite walked every message in the room:
about 220-360 ms in a room of a million messages. An index on
(room_id, updated_at) finds the few updated messages directly.
Sorting on +created_at keeps SQLite on that index once messages are also
indexed by (room_id, created_at): with both, the planner otherwise walks
the room in creation order looking for updated rows.

* Preload only uncached messages and reduce rendering overhead
* Keep benchmark summaries without raw JSON results
* Use Ruby benchmark drivers and keep generated results out of the repo
