## 📋 Performance Tuning Guidelines

### 1. Measuring Batch Operations

```javascript
// Performance measurement wrapper
async function measureBatchOperation(name, operation) {
  const start = performance.now();
  const memBefore = process.memoryUsage();

  const result = await operation();

  const end = performance.now();
  const memAfter = process.memoryUsage();

  console.log(`${name} Performance:`);
  console.log(`  Time: ${(end - start).toFixed(2)}ms`);
  console.log(
    `  Memory Delta: ${((memAfter.heapUsed - memBefore.heapUsed) / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2)}MB`,
  );

  return result;
}
```

### 2. Optimization Tools

**Built-in Performance Monitor**:

```javascript
import { PerformanceMonitor } from './swarm/optimizations/performance_monitor';

const monitor = new PerformanceMonitor();
monitor.trackOperation('batch-file-creation', async () => {
  await batchtools.createFiles(files);
});

// Get detailed metrics
const metrics = monitor.getMetrics('batch-file-creation');
console.log('Average time:', metrics.avgTime);
console.log('95th percentile:', metrics.p95);
```

**Resource Usage Profiler**:

```javascript
const profiler = new ResourceProfiler();
profiler.start();

// Run operations
await executeSwarmTasks();

const profile = profiler.stop();
console.log('Peak memory:', profile.peakMemory);
console.log('CPU time:', profile.cpuTime);
console.log('I/O operations:', profile.ioOps);
```

### 3. Continuous Performance Monitoring

**Key Metrics to Track**:

1. **Task Execution Time**: Average, median, p95, p99
2. **Memory Usage**: Current, peak, growth rate
3. **Connection Pool**: Hit rate, wait time, active connections
4. **Cache Performance**: Hit rate, eviction rate, size
5. **Queue Metrics**: Length, processing rate, backpressure

**Monitoring Dashboard Config**:

```yaml
performance_dashboard:
  refresh_interval: 5s
  metrics:
    - name: task_execution_time
      type: histogram
      buckets: [10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000]
    - name: memory_usage
      type: gauge
      alert_threshold: 450MB
    - name: cache_hit_rate
      type: percentage
      target: 80%
    - name: connection_pool_utilization
      type: percentage
      warning: 80%
      critical: 95%
```

## 🔧 Configuration Recommendations

### Optimal Configuration by Workload

**High-Throughput API Development**:

```javascript
{
  connectionPool: { min: 5, max: 20 },
  executor: { concurrency: 15 },
  fileManager: { write: 15, read: 30 },
  caching: { enabled: true, ttl: 3600000, maxSize: 2000 }
}
```

**Large-Scale Refactoring**:

```javascript
{
  connectionPool: { min: 3, max: 10 },
  executor: { concurrency: 8 },
  fileManager: { write: 20, read: 50 },
  caching: { enabled: true, ttl: 7200000, maxSize: 5000 }
}
```

**Real-Time Development**:

```javascript
{
  connectionPool: { min: 2, max: 8 },
  executor: { concurrency: 5 },
  fileManager: { write: 10, read: 20 },
  caching: { enabled: false } // Disable for real-time accuracy
}
```
