- Startup time: 800-1200ms
- Memory usage: 80-120MB
- Heavy module imports at startup
- No caching

### After Optimization (Target)

Optimized CLI targets:
- Startup time: < 500ms (40-60% improvement)
- Memory usage: < 50MB (40-60% reduction)
- Lazy module loading
- Smart caching
- Performance monitoring

### Acceptance Criteria

All tests must pass with:
- ✅ Startup < 500ms
- ✅ Memory < 50MB
- ✅ Commands < 100ms
- ✅ No memory leaks
- ✅ All command groups functional
- ✅ Lazy loading working
- ✅ Caching effective

## Maintenance

### Regular Tasks

**Weekly:**
- Review benchmark trends
- Check for regressions
- Update documentation if needed

**Monthly:**
- Update baselines if stable improvements
- Review and update thresholds
- Analyze performance trends

**Per Release:**
- Run full test suite
- Generate performance report
- Compare against baselines
- Update baselines if approved

### Baseline Updates

When to update baselines:
- ✅ Verified performance improvements
- ✅ Major refactoring completed
- ✅ Environment/hardware changes
- ❌ Random performance fluctuations
- ❌ Unclear performance changes
- ❌ Regressions

Process:
1. Run benchmarks: `./run_cli_optimization_tests.sh --baseline`
2. Review changes in `performance_baselines.json`
3. Get approval for baseline update
4. Commit updated baseline with explanation
5. Document in release notes

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Issue:** Tests fail in CI but pass locally
- **Cause:** CI environment slower
- **Solution:** Adjust thresholds for CI or use relative performance

**Issue:** Memory tests inconsistent
- **Cause:** GC timing, background processes
- **Solution:** Multiple runs, statistical analysis

**Issue:** Benchmark variance too high
- **Cause:** System load, other processes
- **Solution:** Run on isolated system, increase warmup rounds

### Getting Help

1. Check test output for specific failures
2. Review `CLI_OPTIMIZATION_TEST_GUIDE.md` troubleshooting section
3. Check benchmark results in `reports/` directory
4. Review rollback plan if optimizations causing issues
