* Benchmark methodology

Performance improvements were measured on both Windows and macOS systems, using Filament's table view as a stress test. Performance claims compare prettier-plugin-blade v2 against v3. Windows performance improvements have demonstrated a 212x improvement on complex views, with an overall improvement of 140x. Benchmarks were run with 2 warmup runs and 14 measured runs per plugin per fixture. Fixtures include real-world templates from Laravel and Filament, as well as synthetic stress tests covering interpolations and dense Tailwind attributes. Results may vary depending on template complexity and hardware.
