🚀 Performance Improvements

Parallel Processing Implementation

✅ Configurable Parallelism: Uses Environment.ProcessorCount by default
✅ Resource Management: Semaphore-based concurrent file processing
✅ Memory Efficiency: Streaming analysis for large files
✅ Timeout Protection: Prevents runaway analysis operations

Caching Strategy

✅ Pattern Compilation: Pre-compiled regex patterns for better performance
✅ Result Caching: TTL-based caching of analysis results
✅ Memory Management: Concurrent dictionary with automatic cleanup

Performance Metrics

// Example usage showing performance benefits
var orchestrator = new SecurityAnalysisOrchestrator(config);
var report = await orchestrator.RunFullSecurityAnalysis(targetPath, options);

// Performance data available in report
Console.WriteLine($"Analysis completed in {report.AnalysisDuration.TotalSeconds:F2} seconds");
Console.WriteLine($"Processed {report.TotalFilesAnalyzed} files");
Console.WriteLine($"Found {report.TotalIssuesFound} security issues");

📊 Usage Examples

1. Basic Orchestrated Analysis

// Load configuration
var config = SecurityConfiguration.LoadFromFile("security-config.json");

// Create orchestrator
var orchestrator = new SecurityAnalysisOrchestrator(config);

// Configure analysis options
var options = new SecurityAnalysisOptions
{
    ScanSecrets = true,
    ScanVulnerabilities = true,
    ScanAuthentication = true,
    ScanInputValidation = true,
    ScanConfiguration = true,
    ScanDependencies = true
};

// Run comprehensive analysis
var report = await orchestrator.RunFullSecurityAnalysis("/path/to/code", options);

// Access results
Console.WriteLine($"Overall Risk Level: {report.OverallRiskLevel}");
Console.WriteLine($"Total Issues: {report.TotalIssuesFound}");
foreach (var recommendation in report.OverallRecommendations)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"• {recommendation}");
}

2. Advanced Pattern Engine Usage

// Create pattern engine with custom config
var patternEngine = new SecurityPatternEngine(config);

// Load custom patterns
patternEngine.LoadCustomPatterns("custom-patterns.json");

// Analyze content with parallel processing
var results = await patternEngine.AnalyzeContentAsync(sourceCode, PatternCategory.Secrets);

// Entropy-based secret detection
var entropyResults = await patternEngine.DetectHighEntropyStrings(sourceCode);

3. Telemetry and Analytics

// Initialize telemetry
using var telemetry = new SecurityAnalyticsTelemetry("./telemetry", enabled: true);

// Track analysis performance
telemetry.TrackPerformanceMetrics(new AnalysisPerformance
{
    OperationType = "FullSecurityScan",
    Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45),
    FilesAnalyzed = 150,
    Success = true
});

// Generate analytics report
var analyticsReport = await telemetry.GenerateAnalyticsReportAsync(
    DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-30), 
    DateTime.UtcNow);

// Get real-time dashboard metrics
var dashboardMetrics = await telemetry.GetDashboardMetricsAsync();
