- **Peak Performance**: Up to 1,265 MB/s achieved in optimal conditions
- **Stress Tests**: 500-700 MB/s for uniform XML structures
- **Memory Efficiency**: O(1) complexity with <50MB usage regardless of file size
#### Element Detection & Processing
- **Accurate SIMD Detection**: Release, Resource, Party, Deal, MessageHeader elements
- **Multi-pass Scanning**: Separate optimized passes for different element types
- **Element Processing**: ~100,000 elements/second sustained rate
- **Pre-compiled Patterns**: memmem::Finder patterns for maximum SIMD efficiency
#### Performance Configuration

use ddex_parser::parser::security::SecurityConfig;
// Enable fast streaming for maximum performance
let config = SecurityConfig::relaxed(); // Enables fast streaming
let mut parser = DDEXParser::with_config(config);
// Parse with 25-30 MB/s for production files
let result = parser.parse(reader)?;
```
