## 🚀 Performance Results

### Real-World Benchmarks (12-core system, release mode)

| Scenario | Dataset | Sequential | Parallel | Speedup |
|----------|---------|-----------|----------|---------|
| **Filter (evens)** | 10M | 82.6ms | 70.0ms | **1.18x** ✅ |
| **Count (predicate)** | 10M | 7.2ms | 6.2ms | **1.17x** ✅ |
| Log Analysis | 5M | 70.8ms | 76.6ms | 0.92x |
| Text Processing | 1M | 127ms | 130ms | 0.98x |

**Key Findings:**
- ✅ Best for datasets > 1M elements
- ✅ Best for CPU-intensive operations
- ⚠️ Overhead exists for small datasets
- ⚠️ Simple operations may not benefit

## 🏗️ Architecture Highlights

### Zero Dependencies
```rust
// Only uses Rust std library
use std::thread;
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
```

### Thread Safety
```rust
// Functions shared via Arc
let func = Arc::new(func);

// Results collected thread-safely
let results = Arc::new(Mutex::new(Vec::new()));
```

### Order Preservation
```rust
// Indexed chunks maintain order
results.push((chunk_idx, chunk_results));
results.sort_by_key(|(idx, _)| *idx);
```

### Scoped Threads
```rust
// Safe lifetimes with std::thread::scope
std::thread::scope(|scope| {
    for chunk in chunks {
        scope.spawn(move || process(chunk));
    }
});
```

## 📊 API Surface

### High-Level API

```rust
use avila_parallel::prelude::*;

// ParallelSlice trait
data.par_iter().map(|x| x * 2).sum()

// IntoParallelVec trait
data.par_vec().filter(|x| x % 2 == 0).collect()
```

### Mid-Level API

```rust
use avila_parallel::ParallelIterator;

data.par_iter()
    .filter(|x| x > 10)
    .map(|x| x * x)
    .reduce(|a, b| a + b)
```

### Low-Level API

```rust
use avila_parallel::executor::*;

let results = parallel_map(&data, |x| x * 2);
let evens = parallel_filter(&data, |x| x % 2 == 0);
let sum = parallel_sum(&data);
```

## 🎯 Use Cases

### ✅ Ideal For

   - File operations

2. **Small Datasets**
   - < 10K elements
   - Thread overhead dominates

3. **Trivial Operations**
   - Simple arithmetic
   - < 10µs per element
