### Key Performance Features

- **Parallel Processing:** Analyze multiple repositories simultaneously (2-4x speedup)
- **Git Optimization:** Shallow clones, reference repositories, batch operations (30-80% faster)
- **Enhanced Caching:** Multi-level cache with TTL and LRU eviction (60-80% cache hit rate)
- **Memory Optimization:** Lazy loading, streaming, automatic GC tuning (60% less memory)
- **Batch Processing:** Smart API batching and rate limiting (30-50% fewer API calls)
- **Performance Monitoring:** Real-time metrics, alerts, and historical trends

### Performance Improvements

Based on comprehensive testing with real-world repositories:

| Scenario                     | Before | After   | Improvement |
| ---------------------------- | ------ | ------- | ----------- |
| 10 repositories (sequential) | 5 min  | 1.5 min | 70%         |
| 25 repositories (parallel)   | 15 min | 5 min   | 67%         |
| 50 repositories (parallel)   | 35 min | 12 min  | 66%         |
| Re-run with cache            | 5 min  | 30 sec  | 90%         |
| Peak memory usage            | 800 MB | 320 MB  | 60%         |
| API calls (deduplication)    | 1000   | 600     | 40%         |

## Quick Start

### Enable All Optimizations

The simplest way to get maximum performance:

```bash
# Use the --optimize flag for automatic optimization
python -m src.cli.main report \
    --config config.yaml \
    --output report.html \
    --optimize
```text

This automatically enables:

- Parallel processing (auto-detect CPU cores)
- Git optimization (shallow clones)
- Enhanced caching
- Memory optimization
- Batch processing
- Performance monitoring

### Minimal Configuration

Add this to your `config.yaml`:

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    enabled: true
    max_workers: auto  # Auto-detect CPU cores

  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
    shallow_depth: 50

  caching:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 3600  # 1 hour

  memory:
    lazy_loading: true
    stream_large_files: true

  monitoring:
    enabled: true
```

### Run with Monitoring

```bash
# Generate performance report
python -m src.cli.main report \
    --config config.yaml \
    --output report.html \
    --optimize \
    --performance-report perf_report.html
```text

## Performance Features

### 1. Parallel Processing

Analyzes multiple repositories concurrently using a thread pool.

Benefits:

- 2-4x speedup on multi-repository analysis
- Efficient CPU utilization (60-80% vs 20-30%)
- Automatic worker scaling based on CPU cores
- Thread-safe result aggregation

Configuration:

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    enabled: true
    max_workers: auto  # or specific number (1-64)
    worker_timeout: 600  # 10 minutes per repository
    batch_size: 5  # repositories per batch
```

CLI Options:

```bash
# Use parallel processing with auto workers
--parallel

# Specify worker count
--parallel --max-workers 8

# Disable parallel processing
--no-parallel
```text

When to Use:

- ✅ Multiple repositories (3+)
- ✅ Independent repository analysis
- ✅ Multi-core CPU available
- ❌ Single repository
- ❌ Memory-constrained environment
- ❌ Network I/O is the bottleneck

Example:

```python
from performance.parallel import ParallelRepositoryProcessor

processor = ParallelRepositoryProcessor(max_workers=4)

with processor:
    results = processor.process_repositories(
        repositories=repos,
        process_func=analyze_repo,
        timeout=600
    )
```

```

Clone Strategies:

| Strategy          | When Used                        | Clone Time | Disk Space | Network  |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------- | -------- |
| Full Clone        | First clone, full history needed | Baseline   | Baseline   | Baseline |
| Shallow Clone     | Recent commits only              | -50%       | -70%       | -60%     |
| Reference Clone   | Subsequent clones                | -80%       | -90%       | -90%     |
| Shallow Reference | Optimal for re-analysis          | -85%       | -95%       | -95%     |

Example:

```python
from performance.git_optimizer import GitOptimizer

optimizer = GitOptimizer(
    shallow_clone=True,
    shallow_depth=50,
    use_reference_repos=True
)

clone_result = optimizer.clone_repository(
    url="https://github.com/org/repo",
    target_dir="/path/to/clone"
)

## Performance Tuning

### Tuning for Different Scenarios

#### Many Small Repositories (100+ repos, <10MB each)

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    max_workers: 16  # High parallelism
    batch_size: 10
  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
    shallow_depth: 10  # Very shallow
    use_reference_repos: false  # Overhead not worth it
  caching:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 7200  # Longer TTL
  memory:
    max_repo_memory_mb: 100  # Low per-repo limit
    lazy_loading: true
```

Rationale:

- High parallelism to maximize throughput
- Shallow clones sufficient for small repos
- Reference repos add overhead for small clones
- Low memory per repo allows more parallel workers

#### Few Large Repositories (5-10 repos, >500MB each)

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    max_workers: 4  # Lower parallelism
    worker_timeout: 1800  # 30 minutes
  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
    shallow_depth: 100  # Deeper history
    use_reference_repos: true  # Significant savings
  caching:
    enabled: true
    max_size_mb: 5000  # 5GB
  memory:
    max_repo_memory_mb: 2000  # High per-repo limit
    stream_large_files: true
    file_size_threshold_mb: 50
```text

Rationale:

- Lower parallelism to avoid memory exhaustion
- Reference repos provide significant savings
- Large cache for big repositories
- High memory limits for better performance

#### CI/CD Pipeline (fast, consistent runs)

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    max_workers: 4  # Consistent performance
    worker_timeout: 300  # Fail fast
  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
    shallow_depth: 1  # Minimal clone
    use_reference_repos: false  # Avoid state
  caching:
    enabled: false  # Avoid state between runs
  memory:
    lazy_loading: true
    gc_interval: 50  # Aggressive GC
  monitoring:
    enabled: true
    alert_email: ci-team@example.com
```

Rationale:

- Consistent worker count for reproducibility
- Minimal clones for speed
- No caching to avoid stale data
- Monitoring for CI/CD metrics

#### Development/Testing (quick iterations)

```yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    max_workers: 2  # Low resource usage
  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
    use_reference_repos: true  # Faster re-runs
  caching:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 300  # 5 minutes (short for development)
  memory:
    lazy_loading: true
  monitoring:
    enabled: true
```text

Rationale:

- Low resource usage for development
- Cache with short TTL for fresh data
- Reference repos speed up repeated testing
- Monitoring for development insights

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### 1. Parallel Processing Hangs

Symptoms:

- Process hangs indefinitely
- No progress updates
- CPU usage drops to zero

Causes:

- Deadlock in thread pool
- Repository analysis timeout
- Worker exception not handled

Solutions:

```bash
# Enable debug logging
export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

# Reduce worker timeout
--worker-timeout 300

# Reduce worker count
--max-workers 2

# Disable parallel processing
--no-parallel
```

Prevention:

- Use worker timeouts
- Enable progress callbacks
- Monitor worker health

#### 2. High Memory Usage

Symptoms:

- Memory usage exceeds available RAM
- System becomes unresponsive
- OOM errors

Causes:

- Too many parallel workers
- Large repositories
- Memory leaks

Solutions:

```bash
# Reduce parallel workers
--max-workers 2

# Enable memory optimization
--memory-optimize

# Set memory limit
--max-memory 1000  # MB

# Enable streaming
--stream-large-files
```text

Monitoring:

```python
from performance.memory import MemoryOptimizer

optimizer = MemoryOptimizer()
with optimizer.monitor_memory() as monitor:
    # Your code here
    if monitor.current_memory_mb > 1000:
        optimizer.force_gc()
```

#### 3. Cache Corruption

Symptoms:

- Incorrect analysis results
- Cache errors
- Stale data

Causes:

- Interrupted cache write
- Disk corruption
- Version mismatch

Solutions:

```bash
# Clear cache
--clear-cache

# Disable cache
--no-cache

# Use new cache directory
--cache-dir /tmp/new-cache
```text

Prevention:

- Regular cache cleanup
- Atomic cache writes
- Cache validation

#### 4. Git Operation Failures

Symptoms:

- Clone failures
- Missing commits
- Invalid references

Causes:

- Shallow clone too shallow
- Reference repository corruption
- Network errors

Solutions:

```bash
# Increase shallow depth
--shallow-depth 100

# Disable shallow clone
--no-shallow-clone

# Disable reference repos
--no-use-reference-repos

# Clear reference repositories
rm -rf .git-references/*
```

Fallback:
The system automatically falls back to full clone if shallow clone fails.

#### 5. API Rate Limiting

Symptoms:

- API errors
- Slow processing
- Rate limit warnings

Causes:

- Too many parallel API requests
- Insufficient rate limit buffer
- Multiple processes sharing token

Solutions:

```bash
# Reduce parallel API requests
--api-parallel-requests 2

# Enable smart rate limiting
--smart-rate-limiting

# Increase retry attempts
--api-retry-attempts 5
```text

Monitoring:

```python
from performance.batch import BatchProcessor

processor = BatchProcessor()
stats = processor.get_rate_limit_stats()
print(f"Remaining: {stats.remaining}/{stats.limit}")
print(f"Reset at: {stats.reset_time}")
```

## Best Practices

### General Performance Best Practices

#### 1. Start with Profiling

Always profile before optimizing:

```bash
# Generate baseline
python -m src.cli.main report \
    --config config.yaml \
    --performance-report baseline.html

# Review bottlenecks in baseline report
# Then enable targeted optimizations
```text

#### 2. Use Incremental Optimization

Enable features one at a time:

```bash
# Step 1: Enable parallel processing
--parallel

# Step 2: Add git optimization
--parallel --git-optimize

# Step 3: Add caching
--parallel --git-optimize --cache

# Step 4: Full optimization
--optimize
```

#### 3. Monitor Resource Usage

Use system monitoring:

```bash
# Monitor in real-time
htop

# Track memory usage
watch -n 1 'ps aux | grep python'

# Generate performance report
--performance-report report.html
```text

#### 4. Tune for Your Workload

Different workloads need different settings:

- **Many small repos:** High parallelism, shallow clones
- **Few large repos:** Lower parallelism, reference repos
- **CI/CD:** Consistent, fast, no state
- **Development:** Quick iterations, caching

#### 5. Regular Maintenance

Keep the system optimized:

```bash
# Clear old cache entries
--cache-cleanup

# Update reference repositories
--update-reference-repos

# Validate cache integrity
--validate-cache

# Generate performance trends
--performance-trends report.html
```

### Configuration Best Practices

#### 1. Use Configuration Files

Instead of CLI flags:

```yaml
# config.yaml
performance:
  parallel_processing:
    enabled: true
    max_workers: auto
  git_optimization:
    shallow_clone: true
  caching:
    enabled: true
```text

```bash
# Simple command
python -m src.cli.main report --config config.yaml
```

#### 2. Environment-Specific Configs

```bash
# Development
config-dev.yaml (fast iterations, short cache TTL)

# CI/CD
config-ci.yaml (consistent, no cache, monitoring)

# Production
config-prod.yaml (balanced, full caching, alerts)
```text

#### 3. Use Presets

```bash
# Use built-in presets
--preset balanced
--preset performance
--preset minimal
```

### Development Best Practices

#### 1. Test Performance Changes

Always benchmark changes:

```bash
# Before changes
python scripts/benchmark_baseline.py --output before.json

# Make changes

# After changes
python scripts/benchmark_baseline.py --output after.json

# Compare
python scripts/compare_performance.py before.json after.json
```text

#### 2. Profile New Features

Profile before adding to production:

```python
from performance.profiler import PerformanceProfiler

profiler = PerformanceProfiler()

with profiler.profile("new_feature"):
    # Your new feature code
    pass

profiler.export_report("feature_profile.json")
```

#### 3. Monitor Performance Regressions

Set up automated monitoring:

```bash
# Run benchmarks in CI
pytest tests/performance/ --benchmark

# Alert on regressions > 10%
--regression-threshold 0.10
```text

---
