Key Findings

SARFTokenizer outperforms tiktoken at higher thread counts
- At 8 threads: SARFTokenizer (43,148/s) vs tiktoken cl100k (11,093/s) = 3.9x faster
Excellent parallel scaling
- SARFTokenizer achieves 5x+ speedup with parallel processing
- tiktoken shows negative scaling (slower with more threads)
Memory efficient
- Peak memory usage: 0.2-0.4 MB for all tokenizers

4. Memory Usage

Metric	Value
Peak Memory	0.28 MB
Samples Processed	10,000
Memory per Sample	~0.03 KB

5. PyPI vs Local Tokenizer Comparison

Metric	PyPI (HF)	Local
Vocab Size	64,641	64,641
1T Throughput	8,010/s	7,714/s
8T Throughput	43,148/s	41,036/s
