## 🔧 Configuration

### Criterion Settings

Each benchmark uses optimized Criterion configuration:

```rust
criterion_group! {
    name = benches;
    config = Criterion::default()
        .sample_size(100)           // 100 statistical samples
        .measurement_time(Duration::from_secs(10))  // 10s per benchmark
        .warm_up_time(Duration::from_secs(3));      // 3s warmup
    targets = ...
}
```

### Custom Configurations

**Fast benchmarks** (overhead, parsing):
- sample_size: 500-1000
- measurement_time: 5s

**Slow benchmarks** (neural, integration):
- sample_size: 30-50
- measurement_time: 15s

## 🎨 Best Practices

### 1. Environment Setup
```bash
# Disable CPU frequency scaling
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor performance

# Close unnecessary applications
# Run benchmarks in isolated environment
```

### 2. Baseline Management
```bash
# Create baseline
cargo bench -- --save-baseline main

# Compare with baseline
git checkout feature-branch
cargo bench -- --baseline main
```

### 3. Statistical Validity
- Minimum 30 samples for significance
- Watch for high standard deviation
- Multiple runs for consistency
- Check for outliers

### 4. Profiling Integration
```bash
# With flamegraph
cargo flamegraph --bench temporal_bench

# With perf
perf record -g cargo bench --bench temporal_bench
perf report

# With valgrind
valgrind --tool=cachegrind target/release/deps/temporal_bench-*
```

## 📊 Understanding Metrics

### Key Metrics

1. **Mean**: Average execution time
2. **Std Dev**: Consistency indicator
3. **Median**: Central tendency
4. **MAD**: Median Absolute Deviation
5. **Throughput**: Operations per second

### Regression Detection

Criterion automatically detects performance regressions:
- 🟢 Green: Performance improved
- 🟡 Yellow: Within noise threshold
- 🔴 Red: Performance regressed
