docs: add turbo mode performance baseline and analysis
This commit adds comprehensive performance benchmarking comparing DTail v4.3.0
(before turbo mode) with the current implementation that has turbo boost enabled
by default.
Performance Improvements:
- DCat: 2,535% improvement (26.3x faster)
- DGrep: 1,334-1,811% improvement (14-19x faster depending on hit rate)
- DMap: 25-55% improvement for most query types
Files added:
- benchmarks/baselines/baseline_20250704_130947_turbo-enabled.txt
New baseline with turbo mode enabled for future comparisons
- doc/turbo_performance_analysis.md
Detailed technical analysis of performance improvements including
methodology, results, and implementation details
- benchmark_comparison_report.md
Summary report comparing v4.3.0 baseline with turbo-enabled baseline
The turbo mode optimizations bypass channels for direct output operations
and use direct line processing for MapReduce in server mode, resulting in
dramatic performance improvements while maintaining compatibility.
