"""Performance benchmarks for PathSpec pattern matching and caching.
This module benchmarks the critical pattern matching code paths used by:
- File reservation conflict detection
- Pre-commit guard hook pattern matching
- Union PathSpec optimization for bulk conflict checks
Reference: mcp_agent_mail-wjm (Add performance benchmarks for pattern matching)
Benchmark targets (per bead spec):
- PathSpec compilation: <0.01ms per pattern
- File reservation conflict detection: <5ms for 50 reservations x 100 paths
- Cache hit rate: 99 hits, 1 miss for 100 calls with same pattern
- Union PathSpec: >10x faster than individual matching
