docs: add SWE-bench performance results to compress() docs

Browse source 
Include benchmark table from Opus eval (5 problems, trigger=10k)
showing 72% cost savings with file-level quality fully preserved.
Add metric explanations and eval runner examples.

## Evaluate Compression Quality
## Performance
You can benchmark baseline vs compressed behavior with:
Benchmarked on [SWE-bench Lite](https://huggingface.co/datasets/princeton-nlp/SWE-bench_Lite_bm25_27K) (real GitHub issues with ~27k tokens of BM25-retrieved repo context per problem).
### Claude Opus — 5 problems, trigger=10k
| Metric | Baseline | Compressed | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| File overlap | 1.000 | 1.000 | +0.000 |
| Exact file match | 100% | 100% | +0.0% |
| Hunk overlap | 0.582 | 0.361 | -0.221 |
| Content similarity | 0.367 | 0.373 | +0.006 |
| Avg prompt tokens | 30,828 | 6,890 | -77.7% |
| Avg cost/problem | $0.488 | $0.136 | **-72.0%** |
**Key takeaways:**
- **File-level targeting is fully preserved** — the model edits the same files with or without compression.
- **Content similarity matches baseline** — the actual lines changed are comparable.
- **Hunk overlap drops modestly** (-0.221) — the model targets the right files but may edit slightly different line ranges with less surrounding context.
- **72% cost savings** with 78% token reduction.
### Metrics explained
| Metric | What it measures |
|---|---|
| **File overlap** | Fraction of gold-patch files present in the generated patch |
| **Exact file match** | Whether the generated patch touches exactly the same set of files |
| **Hunk overlap** | Fraction of gold hunk line ranges covered by generated hunks |
| **Content similarity** | Jaccard similarity of changed lines (added/removed) between gold and generated patches |
### Running the SWE-bench eval
```bash
# 5-problem quick check
python tests/eval_swe_bench.py --model claude-opus-4-20250514 --problems 5
# Custom trigger/target
python tests/eval_swe_bench.py --model gpt-4o --problems 20 \
--compression-trigger 15000 --compression-target 10000
# With embedding scoring
python tests/eval_swe_bench.py --model gpt-4o --problems 10 \
--embedding-model text-embedding-3-small
```
### Running the HumanEval-style eval
```bash
python scripts/eval_compression.py --model gpt-4o --problems 5
