# PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS - T023 FINAL PERFECTION

## Executive Summary

This document analyzes the current performance baseline post-PHP 8.4 migration and implements targeted micro-optimizations to achieve an additional 5%+ performance improvement beyond the existing 15% gain from PHP 8.4 upgrade.

## IMPLEMENTATION: MICRO-OPTIMIZATIONS

### Optimization 1: Enhanced API Client Connection Pooling

```php
/**
 * Performance-optimized API client with connection pooling
 */
class OptimizedMoloniApiClient extends MoloniApiClient
{
    private static $connection_pool = [];
    private static $connection_pool_size = 5;
    
    /**
     * Get pooled HTTP connection
     */
    private function getPooledConnection($endpoint_hash)
    {
        if (!isset(self::$connection_pool[$endpoint_hash])) {
            self::$connection_pool[$endpoint_hash] = [];
        }
        
        $pool = &self::$connection_pool[$endpoint_hash];
        
        // Reuse existing connection if available
        if (!empty($pool)) {
            return array_pop($pool);
        }
        
        // Create new connection
        return $this->createOptimizedConnection();
    }
    
    /**
     * Return connection to pool
     */
    private function returnToPool($connection, $endpoint_hash)
    {
        if (count(self::$connection_pool[$endpoint_hash]) < self::$connection_pool_size) {
            self::$connection_pool[$endpoint_hash][] = $connection;
        } else {
            curl_close($connection);
        }
    }
}
```

### Optimization 2: Database Query Batching

```php
/**
 * Optimized batch database operations
 */
class OptimizedDatabaseOperations
{
    private $batch_insert_buffer = [];
    private $batch_update_buffer = [];
    private $batch_size = 100;
    
    /**
     * Batch insert with prepared statement reuse
     */
    public function batchInsert($table, $data)
    {
        $this->batch_insert_buffer[$table][] = $data;
        
        if (count($this->batch_insert_buffer[$table]) >= $this->batch_size) {
            $this->flushBatchInserts($table);
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Execute batched inserts
     */
    private function flushBatchInserts($table)
    {
        if (empty($this->batch_insert_buffer[$table])) return;
        
        $data_batch = $this->batch_insert_buffer[$table];
        $this->batch_insert_buffer[$table] = [];
        
        // Use single prepared statement for all inserts
        $this->executeBatchInsert($table, $data_batch);
    }
}
```

### Optimization 3: Memory-Efficient Streaming Processing

```php
/**
 * Memory-optimized sync service with streaming
 */
class StreamingInvoiceSyncService extends InvoiceSyncService
{
    private $memory_limit_mb = 256;
    private $chunk_size = 50;
    
    /**
     * Process large datasets in chunks to reduce memory usage
     */
    public function streamingBulkSync($invoice_ids, $options = [])
    {
        $chunks = array_chunk($invoice_ids, $this->chunk_size);
        $results = [];
        
        foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
            // Process chunk
            $chunk_result = $this->processInvoiceChunk($chunk, $options);
            $results[] = $chunk_result;
            
            // Force garbage collection between chunks
            if (function_exists('gc_collect_cycles')) {
                gc_collect_cycles();
            }
            
            // Memory monitoring
            if (memory_get_usage(true) > $this->memory_limit_mb * 1024 * 1024) {
                trigger_error("Memory limit approaching", E_USER_WARNING);
            }
        }
        
        return $results;
    }
}
```

### Optimization 4: Precompiled Class Loading

```php
/**
 * Optimized autoloader with class preloading
 */
class OptimizedAutoloader
{
    private static $class_cache = [];
    private static $preload_classes = [
        'MoloniApiClient',
        'InvoiceSyncService',
        'ClientSyncService',
        'EntityMappingService'
    ];
    
    /**
     * Preload frequently used classes
     */
    public static function preloadClasses()
    {
        foreach (self::$preload_classes as $class) {
            if (!class_exists($class, false)) {
                class_exists($class); // Trigger autoload
            }
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Cached class loading
     */
    public static function loadClass($class)
    {
        if (isset(self::$class_cache[$class])) {
            return self::$class_cache[$class];
        }
        
        // Standard PSR-4 loading with caching
        $loaded = self::standardLoad($class);
        self::$class_cache[$class] = $loaded;
        
        return $loaded;
    }
}
```

## PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING FRAMEWORK

 */
class PerformanceBenchmarkSuite
{
    private $baseline_metrics = [];
    private $optimized_metrics = [];
    
    /**
     * Benchmark API operations
     */
    public function benchmarkApiOperations($iterations = 100)
