 ## Features
 
-- **Thread-safe message queue** using `BlockingQueue`
+- **Thread-safe message queue** using `BlockingQueue` with read-write locks
 - **Unique message IDs** - automatically generated UUIDs for each message
-- **File-based storage** - messages survive application restarts
+- **Async batch persistence** - high-performance file storage with configurable batch sizes
+- **File-based storage** - messages survive application restarts with automatic loading
 - **Producer/Consumer pattern** - separate classes for producing and consuming messages
+- **Configurable settings** - customizable batch size and logging options

+- `enqueue(Message message)` - adds message to queue with async persistence
 - `dequeue()` - removes and returns message from queue
 - `size()` - returns current queue size
+- `flush()` - forces all pending messages to be written to disk
+- `shutdown()` - gracefully shuts down the queue, ensuring all messages are persisted
+- **Async batch persistence** - messages are written to file in configurable batches for optimal performance
+- **Configurable settings** - batch size and console logging can be customized
 - Automatic file loading on startup
-- Saves messages to a specified file

 ## Usage
 
+### Basic Usage

 ```java
-// Create a message queue with file storage
+// Create a message queue with default settings (batch size: 100, no console logging)
 MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue("messages.log");
 
+// Or create with custom configuration
+MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue("messages.log", 50, true); // batch size: 50, console logging enabled
+
 // Create producer and consumer
 Producer producer = new Producer(queue);
 Consumer consumer = new Consumer(queue);

 // Check queue size
 int size = queue.size();
+
+// Gracefully shutdown (automatically flushes pending messages)
+queue.shutdown();
 ```
 
+### Configuration Options
+
+The MessageQueue constructor accepts the following parameters:
+
+- **filename** (String): The file path where messages will be persisted
+- **batchSize** (int, optional): Number of messages to batch before writing to file (default: 100)
+- **enableConsoleLogging** (boolean, optional): Whether to log enqueue operations to console (default: false)
+
+### Async Batch Persistence
+
+The MessageQueue implements an efficient async batch persistence mechanism:
+
+- **Non-blocking enqueue**: Messages are added to the queue immediately without waiting for disk I/O
+- **Background persistence**: A dedicated thread handles writing messages to file
+- **Batch optimization**: Messages are written in configurable batches to reduce file I/O overhead
+- **Automatic flushing**: The system ensures data integrity by flushing batches to disk
+- **Graceful shutdown**: Call `shutdown()` to ensure all pending messages are persisted (includes automatic flush)
+
+This design provides high throughput for message enqueuing while maintaining data durability.

+## Performance Testing
+
+This project includes comprehensive performance testing tools to measure queue performance under various conditions.
+
+### Quick Performance Test
+
+Run the automated performance test script:
+
+```bash
+# Make script executable (first time only)
+chmod +x run_performance_test.sh
+
+# Run performance tests
+./run_performance_test.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Test with 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M messages
+- Run both single-threaded and multi-threaded tests
+- Generate a detailed performance report (`performance_report.log`)
+
+### Manual Performance Tests
+
+#### Basic Performance Test
+
+```bash
+# Compile test classes
+mvn test-compile
+
+# Run basic performance test
+mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.ofek.queue.PerformanceTest" -Dexec.classpathScope="test"
+```
+
+### Performance Test Outputs
+
+The performance tests generate multiple output files:
+
+**`performance_report.log`** - Human-readable performance report with:
+
+- System information (Java version, OS, memory)
+- Test results for different message counts
+- Single-threaded and multi-threaded performance metrics
+- Memory usage information
+
+### Sample Performance Results
+
+Typical results on a modern system:
+
+```
+Messages: 100,000 | Enqueue: 2,450.32 ms | Dequeue: 1,234.56 ms | Total: 3,684.88 ms | Throughput: 27,140.23 msg/sec
+```

 ## File Format
 
 Messages are stored in pipe-delimited format:
