+```
+
+## Benchmark Descriptions
+
+### 1. Context Reuse (`context_reuse.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Performance difference between reusing compression/decompression contexts vs creating new ones for each operation.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- Reusing contexts is **3-5x faster** than creating new ones
+- Saves **significant memory** (avoiding repeated allocations)
+- Always reuse contexts when performing multiple operations
+
+**When to reuse:**
+- ✓ Processing multiple files in a loop
+- ✓ Compressing/decompressing multiple messages
+- ✓ Any scenario with > 1 operation
+
+### 2. Dictionary Usage (`dictionary_usage.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Compression ratio and speed improvements when using trained dictionaries.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- Dictionaries provide **40-70% better compression** for small, similar data
+- Especially effective for JSON, logs, and repeated patterns
+- Small memory overhead for dictionary storage
+
+**When to use dictionaries:**
+- ✓ Small messages (< 10KB each) with similar structure
+- ✓ JSON API responses
+- ✓ Log messages
+- ✓ When compression ratio matters more than speed
+- ✗ Large files (> 1MB each)
+- ✗ Highly variable data
+
+### 3. Compression Levels (`compression_levels.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Trade-off between compression speed and compression ratio across different levels.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- **Level -1:** Ultra-fast, 3-5x faster than level 1
+- **Level 1-3:** Fast compression, good for high-throughput
+- **Level 3 (default):** Best balance of speed/ratio
+- **Level 9-15:** Better compression, slower speed
+- **Level 16-22:** Maximum compression, very slow, high memory
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Real-time compression: Level -1 to 1
+- General use: Level 3 (default)
+- Archival: Level 9-15
+- Maximum compression: Level 19-22
+
+### 4. Streaming (`streaming.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Streaming API vs one-shot compression for different use cases.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- One-shot is **simpler** but requires all data in memory
+- Streaming provides **constant memory usage** regardless of file size
+- Streaming is essential for **large files** (> 1MB)
+- Chunk size affects performance (8KB chunks perform well)
+
+**When to use streaming:**
+- ✓ Large files (> 1MB)
+- ✓ Memory-constrained environments
+- ✓ Network streams, incremental data
+- ✓ Processing data on-the-fly
+
+**When to use one-shot:**
+- ✓ Small data (< 1MB)
+- ✓ Data already in memory
+- ✓ Simplicity is priority
+
+### 5. Multi-threading (`multithreading.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Performance impact of using multiple worker threads for compression.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- Multi-threading provides **1.5-3x speedup** for large data
+- Only helps with data **> 256KB** (overhead for smaller)
+- Optimal: **2-4 workers** (diminishing returns after)
+- More workers = higher memory usage
+
+**Typical speedups:**
+- 2 workers: 1.5-1.8x faster
+- 4 workers: 2.0-2.5x faster
+- 8 workers: 2.2-3.0x faster
+
+**When to use:**
+- ✓ Large files (> 256KB)
+- ✓ High-throughput scenarios
+- ✓ When CPU is available
+- ✗ Small data (< 256KB)
+- ✗ Memory-constrained environments
+
+### 6. Dictionary Training (`dictionary_training.rb`)
+
+**What it tests:** Comparison of dictionary training algorithms and dictionary sizes.
+
+**Key findings:**
+- **train_dict:** Fastest training, good quality
+- **train_dict_cover:** Best compression ratios, slower (2-10x)
+- **train_dict_fast_cover:** Balanced speed/quality
+- Larger dictionaries = better compression (diminishing returns > 64KB)
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Quick iteration: `train_dict`
+- Production dictionaries: `train_dict_cover`
+- Balanced: `train_dict_fast_cover` with `accel: 5`
+- Dictionary size: 16KB-64KB for small messages

+## Benchmark Results
+
+Run the benchmarks on your system to see platform-specific results. The benchmarks will generate markdown-formatted tables that you can include in documentation.
+
+## Adding New Benchmarks
+
+1. Create a new file in `benchmark/` (e.g., `my_benchmark.rb`)
+2. Use the helper utilities from `helpers.rb`:
+   - `BenchmarkHelpers.run_comparison` - Main benchmark runner
+   - `DataGenerator.*` - Generate test data
+   - `Formatter.*` - Format output
+   - `Memory.*` - Memory estimation
+3. Add your benchmark to `run_all.rb`
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+require_relative "helpers"
+include BenchmarkHelpers
+
+BenchmarkHelpers.run_comparison(title: "My Benchmark") do |results|
+  # Your benchmark code here
+  results << BenchmarkResult.new(
+    name: "Test case",
+    iterations_per_sec: 1000,
+    memory_bytes: 1024
+  )
+end
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+Benchmark improvements and additions are welcome! Please ensure:
+- Use realistic test data
+- Include memory measurements
+- Provide clear recommendations
+- Format output for README inclusion
