 ### 🚀 Performance Improvements
 
+IronCode delivers exceptional performance through **native Rust components** and **intelligent memory management**:
+
+#### Memory Efficiency & Resource Monitoring
+
+IronCode includes an **automatic resource monitoring system** that keeps memory usage under control:
+
+- 🎯 **Default 300MB limit** - Prevents excessive memory consumption
+- 📊 **Real-time monitoring** - Checks every 5 seconds with three levels (normal/warning/critical)
+- 🚦 **Auto-throttling** - Automatically slows down at 95% memory to prevent crashes
+- ⚡ **Optimized processing** - 98% faster message handling with selective cloning
+- 🔧 **Configurable** - Adjust limits with `--max-memory` flag or disable with `--no-enable-resource-monitor`
+
+**Memory Optimizations:**
+
+| Optimization                     | Impact                 | Speedup                         |
+| -------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| **Selective Message Cloning**    | 4.1MB saved per step   | 97.6% faster (254ms → 6ms)      |
+| **Array Operation Improvements** | Reduced GC pressure    | 7 optimizations across codebase |
+| **Automatic Throttling**         | Prevents memory spikes | Active at 285MB (95% threshold) |
+
+**Example Usage:**
+
+```bash
+# Default (300MB limit, monitoring enabled)
+ironcode
+
+# Custom memory limit
+ironcode --max-memory 500
+
+# Disable resource monitoring
+ironcode --no-enable-resource-monitor
+
+# Both options
+ironcode --max-memory 400 --enable-resource-monitor
+```
+
+See [RESOURCE-MONITORING.md](./RESOURCE-MONITORING.md) for full documentation.

+#### Native Rust Performance
+
 IronCode rewrites key operations in native Rust with **measured real-world performance gains**:
