+# Context Snapshot Benchmark Comparison
+
+Comparison of V8 runtime performance before and after context snapshot optimization.
+
+## Hardware
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| CPU | 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700KF |
+| Cores | 20 |
+| RAM | 62 GB |
+| Node | v24.13.0 |
+| OS | Linux 6.1.0-41-amd64 (x64) |
+
+## Warm Start (Per-Session Cost)
+
+| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
+|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| Mean | 13.75 ms | 2.70 ms | **-80.4%** |
+| P50 | 13.70 ms | 2.50 ms | **-81.8%** |
+| Min | 12.50 ms | 2.30 ms | **-81.6%** |
+| Max | 15.60 ms | 3.40 ms | **-78.2%** |
+
+Target: < 6 ms. **Achieved: 2.7 ms mean (55% below target).**
+
+## Cold Start (Process Startup)
+
+| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
+|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| Process cold (first run) | 99.88 ms | 66.16 ms | **-33.8%** |
+| Steady-state mean | 48.23 ms | 22.00 ms | **-54.4%** |
+| Steady-state P50 | 48.20 ms | 21.90 ms | **-54.6%** |
+
+## What Changed
+
+**Before (isolate-only snapshot):** Each session compiled and executed the bridge IIFE
+(~3000 lines of JS) from scratch, then applied config and set up the module system.
+
+**After (context snapshot):** The bridge IIFE is compiled and executed once during
+snapshot creation. Each session restores the pre-initialized context from the snapshot,
+replaces stub bridge functions with real session-local ones, and runs a short
+post-restore config script (~10 lines).
+
+## Breakdown of Savings
+
+| Phase | Before | After | Saved |
+|-------|--------|-------|-------|
+| Bridge IIFE compilation | ~4 ms | 0 ms (snapshot) | ~4 ms |
+| Bridge IIFE execution | ~7 ms | 0 ms (snapshot) | ~7 ms |
+| Bridge fn replacement | N/A | ~0.5 ms | -0.5 ms |
+| Post-restore config | N/A | ~0.5 ms | -0.5 ms |
+| **Total warm start** | **~13.75 ms** | **~2.7 ms** | **~11 ms** |

+- Ran quick-bench.ts 5 iterations (2 runs each = 10 warm samples, 10 cold samples)
+- Saved results to `packages/secure-exec/benchmarks/results/context_snapshot_after.json`
+- Created `packages/secure-exec/benchmarks/results/context_snapshot_comparison.md` with before/after table
+- Results:
+  - Warm start (per-session cost): mean=2.7ms, p50=2.5ms (target was <6ms) — **80% improvement** from 13.75ms baseline
+  - Cold start (steady state): mean=22.0ms, p50=21.9ms — **54% improvement** from 48.2ms baseline
+  - Cold start (process cold): mean=66.2ms — **34% improvement** from 99.9ms baseline
+- All 28 typecheck tasks pass
+- Files created: `packages/secure-exec/benchmarks/results/context_snapshot_after.json`, `packages/secure-exec/benchmarks/results/context_snapshot_comparison.md`
+- **Learnings for future iterations:**
+  - Context snapshot eliminated ~11ms of bridge IIFE compilation+execution per session
+  - Cold steady-state improvement (48ms → 22ms) is a bonus — snapshot cache hit on second run avoids snapshot creation
+  - `timeout 60` wrapper still needed for quick-bench.ts due to V8 process cleanup hang (see US-085)
