 - `numberOfBoardCards` (Number): Total board cards (default: `5`)
 - `iterations` (Number): Number of simulations per matchup (default: `10000`)
 - `optimize` (Boolean): Use canonical key caching for performance (default: `true`). **Note:** Optimizations may result in a ±0.5% margin of error compared to unoptimized calculations.

 **Returns:**
 - `Promise<{ win, tie, lose }>`: Results object
 
+**Web Workers Notes:**
+- Web Workers provide 3-7x speedup on multi-core systems by parallelizing matchup evaluations
+- Workers are automatically disabled when:
+  - `useWorkers` is `false`
+  - Workers are not supported by the browser
+  - There are fewer than 4 matchups (overhead not worth it)
+- For local testing with `file://` protocol, use a local web server (see [Testing Locally](#testing-locally))
+
 ## Performance
 
 - **Optimized for browser environments** with efficient bitwise operations
+- **Web Workers parallelization** provides 3-7x speedup on multi-core systems
 - Canonical key caching reduces redundant evaluations (may introduce ±0.5% margin of error)
 - Exhaustive enumeration for flop/turn (2 or fewer cards to come)
 - Monte Carlo simulation for preflop and river scenarios
+- Adaptive progress reporting to minimize UI blocking
 
 **Test performance and benchmark online:** [https://darraghgeo.github.io/poker-bitvaljs/](https://darraghgeo.github.io/poker-bitvaljs/)
 
+### Performance Tips
+
+- Enable Web Workers (default) for best performance on multi-core systems
+- Use canonical caching (`optimize: true`) for large range comparisons
+- Adjust `progressInterval` to balance UI responsiveness vs. performance
+- For very small workloads (< 4 matchups), workers are automatically disabled to avoid overhead
+
+## Testing Locally
+
+When testing locally, Web Workers require a proper HTTP origin. If you open `index.html` directly from the file system (`file://` protocol), workers will fail with a `SecurityError`.
+
+**Solution: Use a local web server**
+
+```bash
+# Python 3
+python3 -m http.server 8000
+
+# Node.js (if you have npx)
+npx http-server -p 8000
+
+# PHP (if installed)
+php -S localhost:8000
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:8000` in your browser. The application will automatically fall back to sequential execution if workers are unavailable.
