-## Performance Summary
-
-### Publishing Performance
-
-| Metric | Best Result | Test Configuration |
-|--------|-------------|-------------------|
-| **Peak Event Rate** | 21,118.66 events/sec | 50 concurrent publishers, 512-byte events |
-| **Peak Bandwidth** | 198.28 MB/sec | 10 concurrent publishers, 10KB events |
-| **Optimal Balance** | 16,714.00 events/sec @ 128.38 MB/sec | 10 concurrent publishers, 2KB events |
-
-### Query Performance
-
-| Query Type | Avg Rate | Notes |
-|------------|----------|--------|
-| **Light Load** | 16.35 queries/sec | 50 queries after 1K events |
-| **Medium Load** | 11.21 queries/sec | 100 queries after 10K events |
-| **Heavy Load** | 5.53 queries/sec | 200 queries after 50K events |
-| **Sustained** | 6.72 queries/sec | 500 continuous queries |
-
-## Key Findings
-
-1. **Optimal Concurrency**: The relay performs best with 10-50 concurrent publishers, achieving rates of 16,000-21,000 events/second.
-
-2. **Event Size Impact**: 
-   - Smaller events (512B-2KB) achieve higher event rates
-   - Larger events (10KB) achieve higher bandwidth utilization but lower event rates
-
-3. **Query Performance**: Query performance varies with database size:
-   - Fresh database: ~16 queries/second
-   - After 50K events: ~6 queries/second
-
-4. **Scalability**: The relay maintains consistent performance up to 50 concurrent connections and can sustain 21,000+ events/second under optimal conditions.
-
-## Query Filter Distribution
-
-The benchmark tested 5 different query patterns in rotation:
-1. Query by kind (20%)
-2. Query by time range (20%)
-3. Query by tag (20%)
-4. Query by author (20%)
-5. Complex queries with multiple conditions (20%)
-
-All query types showed similar performance characteristics, indicating well-balanced indexing.

-# Orly Relay Benchmark Tool
+# Nostr Relay Benchmark Suite

-A performance benchmarking tool for Nostr relays that tests both event ingestion speed and query performance.
-
-## Quick Start (Simple Version)
-
-The repository includes a simple standalone benchmark tool that doesn't require the full Orly dependencies:
-
-```bash
-# Build the simple benchmark
-go build -o benchmark-simple ./benchmark_simple.go
-
-# Run with default settings
-./benchmark-simple
-
-# Or use the convenience script
-chmod +x run_benchmark.sh
-./run_benchmark.sh --relay ws://localhost:7447 --events 10000
-```
+A comprehensive performance benchmarking suite for Nostr relay implementations, featuring event publishing tests, query profiling, load simulation, and timing instrumentation.

 ## Features

- **Event Publishing Benchmark**: Tests how fast a relay can accept and store events
- **Query Performance Benchmark**: Tests various filter types and query speeds
- **Concurrent Publishing**: Supports multiple concurrent publishers to stress test the relay
- **Detailed Metrics**: Reports events/second, bandwidth usage, and query performance
+- **Multi-relay comparison benchmarks** - Compare Khatru, Strfry, Relayer, and Orly  
+- **Publishing performance testing** - Measure event ingestion rates and bandwidth

+
+## Development
+
+The benchmark suite consists of several components:

+- `timing_instrumentation.go` - Event lifecycle tracking
+- `report_generator.go` - Comparative report generation
+- `relay_harness.go` - Multi-relay management
+
+## Notes
+
+- All benchmarks use event generation with proper secp256k1 signatures
