[env.production]
"sparql.cache_ttl" = 86400   # 24 hours (production)
```

**Benchmark**:
| Query Complexity | Without Cache | With Cache | Speedup |

- ✅ Degrades gracefully to full rebuild
- 💾 State tracked in `.ggen/state.json`

---

## Performance Monitoring

### Continuous Benchmarking

**Workflow**: `.github/workflows/benchmark.yml`

**Runs On**: Every push to main

**Tracks**:
- Build times (first, incremental, check)
- RDF loading/query performance
- Template rendering speed
- CLI startup time
- Memory usage

**Storage**: Results stored in `docs/benchmark-results/`

**Visualization**:
```bash
./scripts/benchmark-visualize.sh
# Generates charts in docs/benchmark-results/charts/
```

---

### SLO Verification in CI

**Workflow**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`

**Check**:
```yaml
slo-check:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Run SLO checks
      run: cargo make slo-check
    - name: Fail if any SLO missed
      run: |
        if grep -q "FAILED" target/slo-results.txt; then
          echo "SLO check failed"
          exit 1
        fi
```

**Status**: Blocks PR merge if any SLO missed

---

## Performance Regression Detection

### Benchmark Baseline

**Establishment**:
```bash
# Run benchmarks
cargo make bench

# Save as baseline
cargo make bench-baseline
```

**Comparison**:
```bash
# Run benchmarks and compare to baseline
cargo make bench-compare

# Output:
rdf_load/1k_triples     time:   [142.3 ms 145.2 ms 148.7 ms]
                        change: [-2.3% +0.5% +3.2%] (no significant change)

sparql_query/simple     time:   [38.7 ms 42.1 ms 45.3 ms]
                        change: [-8.2% -5.1% -2.3%] (improvement ✅)

template_render/10_vars time:   [1.2 ms 1.4 ms 1.6 ms]
                        change: [+12.3% +18.7% +24.2%] (regression ⚠️)
```

**CI Enforcement**: Alert if > 10% regression

---

## Profiling and Debugging

### CPU Profiling (flamegraph)

```bash
# Install profiler
cargo install flamegraph

# Profile generation workflow
cargo flamegraph --bin ggen -- generate --template class.rs.tera

# Open flamegraph.svg in browser
open flamegraph.svg
```

**Common Bottlenecks**:
- RDF parsing: 45% of time
- SPARQL query execution: 30% of time
- Template rendering: 15% of time
- CLI overhead: 10% of time

---

### Memory Profiling (valgrind)

```bash
# Install valgrind (Linux)
sudo apt install valgrind

# Profile memory usage
valgrind --tool=massif cargo run --release -- graph load --file large.ttl

# View results
ms_print massif.out.<pid>
```

**Common Memory Usage**:
- RDF store: 80% of memory
- Template cache: 10% of memory
- CLI structures: 10% of memory

---

### Benchmarking Tools

**Built-in** (criterion):
```bash
cargo bench                    # Run all benchmarks
cargo bench rdf               # Run RDF benchmarks only
cargo bench -- --save-baseline main  # Save baseline
```

**Third-party**:
```bash
# hyperfine (CLI benchmarking)
hyperfine 'ggen graph load --file schema.ttl'

# perf (Linux profiling)
perf record cargo run --release -- generate ...
perf report

# Instruments (macOS profiling)
instruments -t "Time Profiler" cargo run --release -- generate ...
```
