+# mw-pfeddersheim-workstation Performance Tuning
+
+## Overview
+This document tracks optimization decisions, system tuning parameters, and cleanup routines implemented for the workstation to ensure maximum resource efficiency and stability.
+
+## Current System State (2026-02-27)
+- **CPU**: AMD/Intel (High core count assumed from load distribution)
+- **RAM**: 64GB
+- **Storage**: NVMe (77% usage detected)
+- **OS**: CachyOS/Arch Linux
+
+## Optimization Strategies
+
+### 1. Kernel Parameter Tuning (Ansible)
+- **vm.swappiness**: Set to `10` to prefer RAM over swap on the 64GB machine.
+- **fs.inotify.max_user_watches**: Increase to `524288` for IDEs and build tools.
+- **vm.vfs_cache_pressure**: Set to `50` to improve filesystem cache retention.
+
+### 2. Storage & Filesystem Cleanup
+- **Docker**: Automated pruning of unused images and volumes via `scripts/maintenance.sh`.
+- **Journald**: Vacuuming logs older than 7 days or exceeding 500MB.
+- **Package Manager**: Maintaining only the last 2 versions of packages in the cache.
+
+### 3. Service Optimization
+- **Ananicy**: (Optional) Use Ananicy-cpp for automatic process prioritizing (CachyOS default usually).
