### Optimal Use Cases:

1. **HTTP Header Parsing** - 3-5x speedup for common headers
2. **Log Analysis** - Fast error/warning detection
3. **Protocol Parsing** - Efficient packet analysis
4. **Text Processing** - When searching for many short patterns

### Performance Tips:

1. **Reuse Searchers** - Amortize setup cost across multiple searches
2. **Pattern Length** - Keep patterns under 64 bytes for best performance
3. **Hot Paths** - Use in high-frequency code paths only
4. **Memory** - Each searcher uses ~2KB for mask table
