Comments:
Thanks for the PR. So we don't necessarily want to remove these as much as see if moving them somewhere else in the module saves a lot of time running the benchmarks. Do you know how long it took before / after to run this module?
I did run the tests before making the changes, if that's what you mean by before / after.
The output is as follows:

BENCHMARKS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED.
```
No not the benchmark timings themselves as those shouldn't change. Just how long it took to run from start to finish
Ah! I am afraid I didn't time them. 

Before: 10m24s
After: 4m19s
By halving the dimensions and removing the bottleneck flags, one could get a runtime of about **5m14s**. 
@deepandas11 this looks close to ready.  can you see why the CI is failing and update?

Sorry for not being able to resolve this sooner. Was a bit swamped. 
hmm this looks ok, I think just merge master and good to go.
Thanks @deepandas11 !
