    Encode and decode Sv2 frames with Noise protocol encryption, detailing the entire encryption
    handshake and transport phase and serialization and transmission process for encrypted
    communications.
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Performance benchmarks are provided for all major code paths: plain encoding/decoding,
+Noise protocol encryption, serialization, and buffer pool exhaustion behavior.
+
+See **[BENCHES.md](BENCHES.md)** for the full benchmark suite documentation, including:
+- How to run each suite and which feature flags are needed
+- Descriptions of every benchmark target
+- Measured results with and without `with_buffer_pool` / `noise_sv2`
+- Analysis of buffer pool exhaustion thresholds and Alloc-mode overhead
+
+Quick start:
+
+```bash
+# Run all benchmarks with all features
+cargo bench --all-features
+
+# Run only the pool exhaustion benchmarks
+cargo bench --bench buffer_exhaustion
+```
