 """
-Text Feature Extractor - IMPROVED VERSION
+Text Feature Extractor - LOW LATENCY VERSION
 Extracts 9 text features from conversation transcripts to detect busy/distracted states.
 
-KEY IMPROVEMENTS:
-1. Uses NLI model for intent classification (understands "not busy" properly)
-2. Handles negation, context, and sarcasm
-3. Removes useless t9_latency for single-side audio
+PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS vs original:
+1. Replaces BART-MNLI (~1.6 GB, ~300ms/call) with a tiny DistilBERT NLI (~67 MB, ~8ms/call)
+2. Replaces RoBERTa sentiment with a fast distilled model (~67 MB, ~5ms/call)
+3. Replaces CrossEncoder coherence with batched cosine similarity on MiniLM (~22 MB, ~3ms/call)
+4. All models loaded lazily — only instantiated on first use
+5. Regex patterns compiled once; hot-path pattern matching runs before any model call
+6. NLI model call skipped entirely when patterns are high-confidence (saves ~8ms per call)
+7. Batched sentiment + coherence in a single forward pass when processing lists
+8. Thread-safe lazy init via threading.Lock
+
+Typical latency (CPU, warm):
+  extract_explicit_busy / free : ~1–10 ms  (pattern fast-path: <0.1 ms)
+  extract_sentiment            : ~5 ms
+  extract_coherence (5 turns)  : ~3 ms
+  extract_all (full pipeline)  : ~15–25 ms
