This former optimization report was retired on 2026-07-24 because it mixed unverified estimates, historical measurements, and current implementation status.
Use the maintained sources of truth:
docs/PERFORMANCE.md— tuning guidance and optimization boundariesdocs/PERFORMANCE_TESTING.md— reproducible benchmark methodologydocs/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md— verified implementation and test statusROADMAP.md— planned performance work
Historical benchmark artifacts remain under docs/benchmarks/results/ and must
not be treated as a current baseline unless their environment and method match a
new run.
