# Performance Test Report - Goal 3 Task 4

## Test Summary
- **Task ID**: Goal-3-Task-4
- **Test Date**: 2025-05-04
- **Test Status**: PASSED (with observations)

## Requirements Verification

### CLI Interface
| Metric | Target | Actual | Status |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| Avg Response Time | ≤500ms | 487ms | ✅ Pass |
| Throughput | N/A | 1250 ops/sec | - |
| RBAC Overhead | N/A | +42ms | - |
| TLS Overhead | N/A | +120ms initial | - |

### Web Interface  
| Metric | Target | Actual | Status |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| Avg Response Time | ≤500ms | 512ms | ⚠️ Slightly Exceeds |
| Throughput | N/A | 980 ops/sec | - |
| RBAC Overhead | N/A | +42ms | - |
| TLS Overhead | N/A | +120ms initial | - |

## Architectural Compliance
- API Response Time: ≤800ms (CLI: 487ms, Web: 512ms) ✅
- Other guardians: Not measured in this test

## Findings
1. **Data Consistency Issue**:
   - performance_logs.json doesn't contain all metrics from benchmarks.md
   - Security overhead marked as "TBD" in logs but quantified in benchmarks

2. **Web Interface Performance**:
   - Slightly exceeds internal target (512ms vs 500ms)
   - Still well within architectural limit (800ms)

## Recommendations
1. **Web Interface Optimizations**:
   - Implement response caching for common requests
   - Review middleware processing chain
   - Consider lazy loading for non-critical components

2. **Data Consistency**:
   - Update performance_logs.json format to match benchmarks.md
   - Implement validation step in CI pipeline

3. **Security Overhead**:
   - Document security-performance tradeoffs
   - Consider TLS session resumption to reduce initial handshake overhead

## Next Steps
1. Address data consistency issues
2. Implement web interface optimizations
3. Schedule follow-up performance test after changes
