 ## Performance Profile
 
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
+
+O(1) per bar. Single-pass scalar transformation of (actual, forecast) pair; no lookback window required.
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| Error computation (subtract, abs/square/log) | 1-3 | ~3-8 cy | ~5-15 cy |
+| Running accumulator update (EMA or sum) | 1 | ~4 cy | ~4 cy |
+| **Total** | **2-4** | — | **~9-19 cycles** |
+
+Streaming update requires only the current actual/forecast pair and running state. ~10-15 cycles/bar typical.
+
+### Batch Mode (SIMD Analysis)
+
+| Operation | Vectorizable? | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| Element-wise error computation | Yes | Independent per bar; fully vectorizable with `Vector<double>` |
+| Reduction (sum/mean) | Yes | Parallel reduction; AVX2 gives 4x speedup |
+| Log/exp components | Partial | Transcendental ops; polynomial approx for SIMD |
+
+Batch SIMD: 4x-8x speedup for large windows. ~3-5 cy/bar amortized in vectorized batch mode.
+
 | Metric | Score | Notes |
 | ------ | ------ | ------ |
 | **Throughput** | ~40 ns/bar | Three running sums maintained |
