Performance

This project tracks router performance at script level.

Baseline metric (2026-02-13)

• route_workflow.py CLI cold process average around 264 ms/call in local Windows environment.
• This includes Python interpreter startup overhead.

Benchmark command

python skills/codex-workflows/scripts/benchmark_router.py --iterations 10000

The benchmark compares in-process functions:

• baseline: route_workflow.route
• optimized: route_workflow_fast.route

Target

• Keep route_workflow_fast average in-process latency below baseline.
• Preserve routing correctness against baseline on representative queries.

Performance guidance

• Prefer in-process router use when possible.
• Avoid repeatedly spawning Python for each single routing request.
• Keep routing rules data-driven (routing_data.py) to simplify optimization.
