The code block fence opening syntax is incorrect. It should be ``` (three backticks) not ```/ (three backticks followed by a slash). The slash makes this invalid markdown syntax.

The fastScroll_compose benchmark uses StartupMode.WARM but doesn't call startActivityAndWait() before performing scroll gestures. In WARM mode, the activity needs to be explicitly started within the measureBlock. Without this call, the swipe gestures will execute against whatever is currently on screen, which may not be the intended app. Consider adding startActivityAndWait() at the beginning of the measureBlock before the scroll gestures.
