BENCH: FromDictwithTimestampOffset benchmark is not useful

[mroeschke]

Reference

In the frame_ctor.py benchmark, FromDictwithTimestampOffset which perform a lot of setup just to benchmark a dict of Timestamp keys (with an offset) and float values. Given that it's the longest benchmark to run (xref #16803), I'd be great if this benchmark can be cut down to just test one offset.

For example, contructing a DataFrame from this dict of Timestamps with offsets/floats is pretty constant regardless of offset at n=100.

Yes, that seems fine to me to cut those number of benchmarks down
