+## Performance
+
+Search Performance - 100x faster search. However, this will be at expense of RAM. if you have < 1 million 
+files and folders in the given scope, the RAM usage should be less than 200MB total. RAM requirements 
+should scale based on the number of directories. 
+
+Also , the approx. time to fully index will vary widely based on performance. A sufficiently performant 
+system should fully index within the first 5 minutes, potentially within the first few seconds.
+
+For example, a low end 11th gen i5 with SSD indexes 86K files within 1 second:

 ## Configuration
 
+Note: still a WIP migrating configuration to json.
+
 All configuration is now done via the filebrowser.json config file. 
 This was chosen because it works best with a docker first use case.
