Added a merge checker script that has to run before you can merge to main

Updated merge checker and seperated the matrix tests fro mthe timing tests

Added matrix test timings

Timings get auto-comitted

Update matrix-timing-tests timings [skip ci]

Updated readme

Update matrix-timing-tests timings [skip ci]

Fixing auto-checkout issues
