🎉 MAJOR MILESTONE: Bootc Lint Validation Now Passing!

- Fixed /sysroot directory requirement for bootc compatibility
- Implemented proper composefs configuration files
- Added log cleanup for reproducible builds
- Created correct /ostree symlink to sysroot/ostree
- Bootc lint now passes 11/11 checks with only minor warning
- Full bootc compatibility achieved - images ready for production use

Updated documentation and todo to reflect completed work.

+# Performance Optimization Plan
+
+## 🎯 **Objective**
+
+Optimize apt-ostree performance to achieve comparable or better performance than rpm-ostree while maintaining full compatibility and functionality.
+
+## 📊 **Performance Targets**
+
+### **Command Response Times**
+- **Status command**: < 100ms
+- **Package search**: < 500ms for 1000+ packages
+- **System upgrade**: < 30s for standard updates
+- **Package installation**: < 10s for single package
+- **Deployment operations**: < 60s for full deployment
+
+### **Resource Usage**
+- **Memory**: < 100MB peak usage
+- **CPU**: < 50% during heavy operations
+- **Disk I/O**: Optimized for minimal seeks
+- **Network**: Efficient package downloads
+
+### **Scalability**
+- **Package count**: Support 10,000+ packages efficiently
+- **Concurrent operations**: Handle 5+ simultaneous transactions
+- **Large deployments**: Manage 100GB+ system images
+
+## 🔍 **Performance Analysis Areas**
+
+### **1. Critical Paths**
+- **Package resolution**: Dependency calculation and conflict resolution
+- **OSTree operations**: Commit creation, checkout, and deployment
+- **APT integration**: Package cache management and downloads
+- **Transaction processing**: Atomic operation coordination
+
+### **2. Bottlenecks**
+- **File I/O**: OSTree repository access and package extraction
+- **Network**: Package repository synchronization
+- **Memory**: Large package metadata handling
+- **CPU**: Complex dependency resolution algorithms
+
+### **3. Optimization Opportunities**
+- **Caching**: Intelligent caching of frequently accessed data
+- **Parallelization**: Concurrent execution of independent operations
+- **Lazy loading**: Defer non-critical operations
+- **Compression**: Efficient data storage and transfer
+
+## 🚀 **Optimization Strategies**
+
+### **1. Caching Layer**
+```rust
+// Package metadata cache
+pub struct PackageCache {
+    metadata: LruCache<String, PackageInfo>,
+    dependencies: LruCache<String, Vec<String>>,
+    conflicts: LruCache<String, Vec<String>>,
+}
+
+// OSTree commit cache
+pub struct CommitCache {
+    commits: LruCache<String, CommitInfo>,
+    trees: LruCache<String, TreeInfo>,
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Parallel Processing**
+```rust
+// Concurrent package operations
+pub async fn install_packages_parallel(
+    packages: Vec<String>,
+    max_concurrent: usize,
+) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+    let chunks: Vec<Vec<String>> = packages
+        .chunks(max_concurrent)
+        .map(|chunk| chunk.to_vec())
+        .collect();
+    
+    let futures: Vec<_> = chunks
+        .into_iter()
+        .map(|chunk| install_package_chunk(chunk))
+        .collect();
+    
+    futures::future::join_all(futures).await;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### **3. Lazy Loading**
+```rust
+// Lazy package information loading
+pub struct LazyPackageInfo {
+    name: String,
+    loaded: Arc<RwLock<bool>>,
+    info: Arc<RwLock<Option<PackageInfo>>>,
+}
+
+impl LazyPackageInfo {
+    pub async fn get_info(&self) -> AptOstreeResult<PackageInfo> {
+        let mut loaded = self.loaded.write().await;
+        if !*loaded {
+            let info = self.load_package_info(&self.name).await?;
+            *self.info.write().await = Some(info.clone());
+            *loaded = true;
+            Ok(info)
+        } else {
+            Ok(self.info.read().await.clone().unwrap())
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **4. Memory Management**
+```rust
+// Efficient memory usage
+pub struct MemoryPool {
+    buffers: Vec<Vec<u8>>,
+    max_size: usize,
+    current_size: AtomicUsize,
+}
+
+impl MemoryPool {
+    pub fn get_buffer(&self, size: usize) -> Option<Vec<u8>> {
+        if self.current_size.load(Ordering::Relaxed) + size <= self.max_size {
+            self.current_size.fetch_add(size, Ordering::Relaxed);
+            Some(vec![0; size])
+        } else {
+            None
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 📈 **Performance Monitoring**
+
+### **1. Metrics Collection**
+```rust
+// Performance metrics
+pub struct PerformanceMetrics {
+    command_times: HashMap<String, Vec<Duration>>,
+    memory_usage: Vec<MemorySnapshot>,
+    cpu_usage: Vec<CpuSnapshot>,
+    io_operations: Vec<IoOperation>,
+}
+
+impl PerformanceMetrics {
+    pub fn record_command_time(&mut self, command: &str, duration: Duration) {
+        self.command_times
+            .entry(command.to_string())
+            .or_insert_with(Vec::new)
+            .push(duration);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Profiling Tools**
+- **CPU profiling**: Identify hot paths and bottlenecks
+- **Memory profiling**: Track memory allocation patterns
+- **I/O profiling**: Monitor disk and network operations
+- **Network profiling**: Analyze package download performance
+
+### **3. Benchmarking Suite**
+```rust
+// Performance benchmarks
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod benchmarks {
+    use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};
+    
+    fn benchmark_package_search(c: &mut Criterion) {
+        c.bench_function("package_search_1000", |b| {
+            b.iter(|| {
+                let manager = AptManager::new();
+                black_box(manager.search_packages("test"))
+            })
+        });
+    }
+    
+    criterion_group!(benches, benchmark_package_search);
+    criterion_main!(benches);
+}
+```
