+### Pool Strategy
+
+isol8 supports two pool strategies for container reuse:
+
+```typescript
+// Fast mode (default) - best performance
+// Uses dual-pool system: clean pool + dirty pool
+// Instant acquire from clean pool, immediate cleanup on acquire if needed
+// Background cleanup runs every 5 seconds
+const fastEngine = new DockerIsol8({
+  network: "none",
+  poolStrategy: "fast",
+  poolSize: { clean: 2, dirty: 2 },  // 2 ready, 2 being cleaned
+});
+
+// Secure mode - cleanup in acquire
+// Slower but ensures container is always clean before use
+const secureEngine = new DockerIsol8({
+  network: "none",
+  poolStrategy: "secure",
+  poolSize: 2,  // 2 warm containers
+});
+```
+
+**Fast mode details:**
+- Maintains two pools: `clean` (ready to use) and `dirty` (need cleanup)
+- `acquire()` returns instantly from clean pool if available
+- If clean pool is empty but dirty has containers, tries immediate cleanup
+- Background cleanup runs every 5 seconds to process dirty containers
+- Best performance with minimal memory overhead
