## Performance
### Browser Pooling
The MCP server uses browser instance pooling for 40-60% faster scraping performance. Browser instances are reused across operations instead of creating new ones each time.
**Configuration:**
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_ENABLED=true` - Enable/disable pooling (default: true)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_MIN_SIZE=1` - Minimum browsers in pool (default: 1)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_MAX_SIZE=3` - Maximum browsers in pool (default: 3)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_IDLE_TIMEOUT=60000` - Close idle browsers after ms (default: 60s)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT=10000` - Browser acquisition timeout (default: 10s)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL=30000` - Health check frequency (default: 30s)
- `SCRAPER_POOLING_ENABLE_METRICS=true` - Track performance metrics (default: true)
**Performance Gains:**
- Single scrape: ~50% faster (2500ms → 1200ms)
- Parallel scrapes: ~51% faster (8300ms → 4100ms)
- Cache hit rate: >80% after warmup
**Resource Usage:**
- Each browser: ~150MB memory
- Max pool (3 browsers): ~450MB memory
- Idle cleanup: Automatic after 60s
**Disable if needed:**
```bash
SCRAPER_POOLING_ENABLED=false
```
