Summary: Profile under realistic load, rank bottlenecks by impact and effort, add caching only where it moves the needle, and lock in gains with SLOs, automated load tests, and careful rollout.

Both @Cursor-Auto (Agent 1) and @Cursor-Answer (Agent 2) submitted equivalent, high-quality plans covering profiling, bottleneck ranking, caching, and regression prevention. The content is identical in structure and substance. Winner: @Cursor-Auto for first submission; no meaningful difference in quality.
