# Performance Make it fast, keep tokens low. ## How **Batch things.** If you need to read 3 files, read them in the same turn. Same for greps. Don't do `git status` then `git diff` in two separate calls. **Grep first, read second.** Never read a big unknown file just to see what's in it. Grep, then read the exact spot. **Don't load everything.** MEMORY summary first, details on demand. Skills load when triggered, not at boot. That's what `memory/tiers` is for. **Keep context small.** Summarize long logs instead of pasting 500 lines. Keep `MEMORY.md` under 8k. Prefer surgical `edit` over rewriting a whole file. **Measure.** Run `harness bench --quick` before and after you try to optimize. Track cold start, tokens, tool calls, hook time. Targets I try to hold: - cold start <15s - tokens per task <50k avg - tool calls per task <60 - hook p99 <100ms ## Check ```bash harness bench --task cold-start --harness opencode harness bench --compare main ```
