The 1000-subscriber throughput benchmark slept a fixed 500ms inside its timed window, so the reported msg/s figures were understated and varied with benchtime. Replace the sleep with a wait-until-delivered loop: the clock now stops only when all b.N * 1000 deliveries have reached the subscriber handlers, and the reported metric is true end-to-end delivery throughput. A 60s deadline with b.Fatal guards against a stuck delivery path. Measured effect on Apple M4 Pro: direct-goroutines direct-match fan-out goes from ~28M claimed msg/s (publish-side, skewed window) to 9.9-10.7M end-to-end deliveries/s; worker pool delivers 12.4-12.8M/s at this subscriber count.
Re-benchmarked BlazeSub against MochiMQTT after fixing the throughput benchmark's timing flaw and rewrote every performance claim in README and PERFORMANCE.md to match measured results on Apple M4 Pro (Go 1.26.6, benchtime=3s, count=3): - Fan-out to 1000 subscribers: 9.9-10.7M deliveries/s (direct goroutines), 12.4-12.8M/s (worker pool), reported as ranges. - vs MochiMQTT in-process routing: ~1.04x faster single publish, ~1.9x faster concurrent publish, 7-11x less memory per publish, but 3.5x slower subscribe/unsubscribe churn. - Added a Tradeoffs section to README stating where MochiMQTT wins. - Dropped the "34% faster than MQTT" latency bullet (no latency benchmark exists to back it) and the false "30-50x faster", "84.7M msg/s", and "95% less memory" claims. - Reworked delivery-mode guidance to reflect the measured crossover: direct goroutines ~2x faster at small counts, worker pool slightly faster at 1000 subscribers. - Added methodology (in-process routing core, no network I/O, fan-out counts deliveries, hardware, date) and a reproduction command. Stale claims remaining in BENCHMARK.md and USER_GUIDE.md are tracked in a follow-up issue.

Scope the end-to-end statement to the fan-out figures.
All figures below also covers the MochiMQTT rows, which measure in-process routing and explicitly exclude end-to-end broker throughput. Change this sentence to refer only to the fan-out figures.

Align the memory range with the measured results.
README.md claims 7–14x less memory, but the publish comparisons report 7x and 11x less memory in PERFORMANCE.md. Change this range to 7–11x, or add a measured case that supports 14x.

Summary
The README and PERFORMANCE.md carried performance claims that did not reproduce ("84.7M msg/s", "30–50x faster than MQTT", "95% less memory"). Re-benchmarking against MochiMQTT on an Apple M4 Pro (Go 1.26.6,
benchtime=3s,count=3) produced honest numbers, and this PR rewrites the docs to match them.What we found
BenchmarkThroughputWith1000Subscribersslept a fixed 500ms inside its timed window, so the reported msg/s varied withbenchtimeand was understated for the worker pool. The clock now stops only when allb.N × 1000deliveries have reached the subscriber handlers, so the figures are true end-to-end delivery throughput.Changes
throughput_benchmark_test.go— wait-until-delivered replaces the fixed sleep; a 60s deadline withb.Fatalguards against a stuck delivery path.README.md— existing tables updated with measured ranges; the misleading latency bullet was removed; a new standalone Tradeoffs section states where MochiMQTT wins.PERFORMANCE.md— tables updated and every sentence that contradicted the new numbers was rewritten; methodology (hardware, date, repro command, and the in-process-routing caveat) documented under the throughput table.Test plan
