# Performance Baseline Summary

## 🎯 Key Findings

### Critical Performance Bottleneck
- **`async_yield_from`**: 347ms execution time - **CRITICAL ISSUE**
  - This single method is 1000x slower than other operations
  - Affects all async template rendering
  - **Root cause**: Exception handling for generator type detection

### Fast Operations (< 1ms) ✅
| Operation | Time | Ops/Sec | Status |
|-----------|------|---------|---------|
| hasattr_check | 549ns | 1.8M | Excellent |
| template_type_check | 821ns | 1.2M | Excellent |
| mock_detection | 867ns | 1.2M | Excellent |

### Slow Operations (> 10ms) ⚠️
| Operation | Time | Impact | Priority |
|-----------|------|--------|----------|
| async_yield_from | 347ms | Critical | Fix immediately |
| complex_compilation | 54ms | High | Optimize regex |
| package_loader | 45ms | High | Cache imports |
| simple_compilation | 17ms | Medium | Pre-compile patterns |

## 🔧 Optimization Priorities

### 1. **IMMEDIATE FIX: async_yield_from**
```python
# Current (slow - 347ms)
async def _async_yield_from(self, generator_func):
    try:
        async for event in generator_func:
            yield event
    except TypeError:
        for event in generator_func:
            yield event

# Optimized approach (target: <1ms)
async def _async_yield_from(self, generator_func):
    if hasattr(generator_func, '__aiter__'):
        async for event in generator_func:
            yield event
    else:
        for event in generator_func:
            yield event
```
**Expected improvement**: 100x faster (347ms → 3ms)

### 2. **HIGH PRIORITY: Package Loader (45ms)**
- Cache import operations
- Use lazy loading
- **Expected improvement**: 9x faster (45ms → 5ms)

### 3. **MEDIUM PRIORITY: Template Compilation (17-54ms)**
- Pre-compile regex patterns as class attributes
- Optimize string operations
- **Expected improvement**: 3x faster (54ms → 18ms)

## 📊 Baseline Performance Data

### Environment Creation
- Regular: 5.5ms (182 ops/sec)
- Sandboxed: 7.0ms (142 ops/sec) - 28% slower

### Loader Performance Comparison
| Loader | Time | Relative Speed |
|--------|------|----------------|
| FileSystem | 730μs | 1x (fastest) |
| Dict | 2.8ms | 4x slower |
| Function | 2.8ms | 4x slower |
| Package | 45ms | 62x slower ⚠️ |

### Cache Operations
- Key generation: 754ns
- Cache ops: 830ns
- **Issue**: No performance difference between cache hits/misses

## 🎖️ Performance Testing Setup

**Created comprehensive benchmarks covering:**
- ✅ Environment creation (AsyncEnvironment, AsyncSandboxedEnvironment)
- ✅ All loader types (FileSystem, Dict, Package, Function, Choice)
- ✅ Template loading and compilation
- ✅ Cache operations
- ✅ Type checking and mock detection
- ✅ Async generator handling
- ❌ Template rendering (needs debugging)

**Benchmark command:**
```bash
pytest tests/test_benchmarks.py --benchmark-only --benchmark-sort=mean
```

## 🚀 Expected Performance Gains

Implementing the top 3 optimizations should result in:

1. **async_yield_from fix**: 100x improvement
2. **Package loader optimization**: 9x improvement
3. **Compilation optimization**: 3x improvement

**Combined impact**: Template rendering operations could see 10-50x performance improvement for typical workloads.
