## 📈 Production Performance Guidelines

### Recommended Usage Patterns

#### Small Datasets (< 10,000 rows)

- **Performance**: Excellent
- **Memory Usage**: Minimal (< 50 MB)
- **Recommendations**: Use all features freely

#### Medium Datasets (10,000 - 100,000 rows)

- **Performance**: Good
- **Memory Usage**: Moderate (50-500 MB)
- **Recommendations**: Monitor memory usage

#### Large Datasets (> 100,000 rows)

- **Performance**: Acceptable
- **Memory Usage**: Higher (> 500 MB)
- **Recommendations**: Use chunking, monitor performance

### Optimization Tips

1. **Use Chunking**: For datasets > 100k rows
2. **Monitor Memory**: Use built-in profiling tools
3. **Cleanup Trackers**: Call `tracker.cleanup()` when done
4. **Batch Operations**: Group related operations together

benchmark = CustomBenchmark()

def my_custom_operation(tracker, data):
    """Your custom operation to benchmark."""
    ldf = LineageDataFrame(data, "custom_data", tracker)
    return ldf.filter(ldf._df['value'] > 100).groupby('category').mean()

# Run custom benchmark
results = benchmark.benchmark_custom_operation(
    my_custom_operation,
    data_sizes=[1000, 5000, 10000],
    iterations=5
)
