```

## Benchmark Harness

**Location**: `/tests/perf/run.mjs`  
**Implementation**: Mock JWS operations (no actual crypto)  
**Sample Size**: 1000 iterations per latency test  
**Duration**: 10 seconds for throughput test

## Exact Commands

```bash
# Run from project root
cd /path/to/peac-0.9.12-onwards-dev/peac
node tests/perf/run.mjs

## Important Notes

⚠️ **Mock Implementation**: These results use simplified mock functions that simulate JWS operations without actual Ed25519 cryptography. Real-world performance will be lower due to:

- Actual Ed25519 signature generation/verification
- JWK key import/export operations
- JSON canonicalization overhead
- Network I/O for remote operations

## Production Expectations

For production deployments with real cryptographic operations:

- **Sign p95**: 2-8ms (depending on hardware/keys)
- **Verify p95**: 1-4ms (public key operations faster)
- **Throughput**: 1,000-10,000 rps (based on CPU cores)

## Validation Gates

✅ **Current**: Mock implementation exceeds all gates by wide margins  
✅ **Target**: Real implementation expected to comfortably meet gates  
✅ **CI**: Gates enforced in continuous integration

## Next Steps

- [ ] Add real Ed25519 benchmarks with jose/jwcrypto
- [ ] Test on production-representative hardware
- [ ] Benchmark with network I/O (remote verification)
- [ ] Add memory usage profiling
