+# Pickle Chunked Reading Benchmark
+
+This benchmark measures the performance impact of the chunked reading optimization in GH PR #119204 for the pickle module.
+
+## What This Tests
+
+The PR adds chunked reading (1MB chunks) to prevent memory exhaustion when unpickling large objects:
+- **BINBYTES8** - Large bytes objects (protocol 4+)
+- **BINUNICODE8** - Large strings (protocol 4+)
+- **BYTEARRAY8** - Large bytearrays (protocol 5)
+- **FRAME** - Large frames
+- **LONG4** - Large integers
+- An antagonistic mode that tests using memory denial of service inducing malicious pickles.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run full benchmark suite (1MiB → 200MiB, takes several minutes)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py
+
+# Test just a few sizes (quick test: 1, 10, 50 MiB)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --sizes 1 10 50
+
+# Test smaller range for faster results
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --sizes 1 5 10
+
+# Output as markdown for reports
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --format markdown > results.md
+
+# Test with protocol 4 instead of 5
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --protocol 4
+```
+
+**Note:** Sizes are specified in MiB. Use `--sizes 1 2 5` for 1MiB, 2MiB, 5MiB objects.
+
+## Antagonistic Mode (DoS Protection Test)
+
+The `--antagonistic` flag tests **malicious pickles** that demonstrate the memory DoS protection:
+
+```bash
+# Quick DoS protection test (claims 10, 50, 100 MB but provides 1KB)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --antagonistic --sizes 10 50 100
+
+# Full DoS test (default: 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 MB claimed)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --antagonistic
+```
+
+### What This Tests
+
+Unlike normal benchmarks that test **legitimate pickles**, antagonistic mode tests:
+- **Truncated BINBYTES8**: Claims 100MB but provides only 1KB (will fail to unpickle)
+- **Truncated BINUNICODE8**: Same for strings
+- **Truncated BYTEARRAY8**: Same for bytearrays
+- **Sparse memo attacks**: PUT at index 1 billion (would allocate huge array before PR)
+
+**Key difference:**
+- **Normal mode**: Tests real data, shows ~5% time overhead
+- **Antagonistic mode**: Tests malicious data, shows ~99% memory savings
+
+### Expected Results
+
+```
+100MB Claimed (actual: 1KB)
+ binbytes8_100MB_claim
+ Peak memory: 1.00 MB (claimed: 100 MB, saved: 99.00 MB, 99.0%)
+ Error: UnpicklingError ← Expected!
+
+Summary:
+ Average claimed: 126.2 MB
+ Average peak: 0.54 MB
+ Average saved: 125.7 MB (99.6% reduction)
+Protection Status: ✓ Memory DoS attacks mitigated by chunked reading
+```
+
+**Before PR**: Would allocate full claimed size (100MB+), potentially crash
+**After PR**: Allocates 1MB chunks, fails fast with minimal memory
+
+This demonstrates the **security improvement** - protection against memory exhaustion attacks.
+
+## Before/After Comparison
+
+The benchmark includes an automatic comparison feature that runs the same tests on both a baseline and current Python build.
+
+### Option 1: Automatic Comparison (Recommended)
+
+Build both versions, then use `--baseline` to automatically compare:
+
+```bash
+# Build the baseline (main branch without PR)
+git checkout main
+mkdir -p build-main
+cd build-main && ../configure && make -j $(nproc) && cd ..
+
+# Build the current version (with PR)
+git checkout unpickle-overallocate
+mkdir -p build
+cd build && ../configure && make -j $(nproc) && cd ..
+
+# Run automatic comparison (quick test with a few sizes)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py \
+ --baseline build-main/python \
+ --sizes 1 10 50
+
+# Full comparison (all default sizes)
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py \
+ --baseline build-main/python
+```
+
+The comparison output shows:
+- Side-by-side metrics (Current vs Baseline)
+- Percentage change for time and memory
+- Overall summary statistics
+
+### Interpreting Comparison Results
+
+- **Time change**: Small positive % is expected (chunking adds overhead, typically 5-10%)
+- **Memory change**: Negative % is good (chunking saves memory, especially for large objects)
+- **Trade-off**: Slightly slower but much safer against memory exhaustion attacks
+
+### Option 2: Manual Comparison
+
+Save results separately and compare manually:
+
+```bash
+# Baseline results
+build-main/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --format json > baseline.json
+
+# Current results
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --format json > current.json
+
+# Manual comparison
+diff -y <(jq '.' baseline.json) <(jq '.' current.json)
+```
+
+## Understanding the Results
+
+### Critical Sizes
+
+The default test suite includes:
+- **< 1MiB (999,000 bytes)**: No chunking, allocates full size upfront
+- **= 1MiB (1,048,576 bytes)**: Threshold, chunking just starts
+- **> 1MiB (1,048,577 bytes)**: Chunked reading engaged
+- **1, 2, 5, 10MiB**: Show scaling behavior with chunking
+- **20, 50, 100, 200MiB**: Stress test large object handling
+
+**Note:** The full suite may require more than 16GiB of RAM.
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+- **Time (mean)**: Average unpickling time - should be similar before/after
+- **Time (stdev)**: Consistency - lower is better
+- **Peak Memory**: Maximum memory during unpickling - **expected to be LOWER after PR**
+- **Pickle Size**: Size of the serialized data on disk
+
+### Test Types
+
+| Test | What It Stresses |
+|------|------------------|
+| `bytes_*` | BINBYTES8 opcode, raw binary data |
+| `string_ascii_*` | BINUNICODE8 with simple ASCII |
+| `string_utf8_*` | BINUNICODE8 with multibyte UTF-8 (€ chars) |
+| `bytearray_*` | BYTEARRAY8 opcode (protocol 5) |
+| `list_large_items_*` | Multiple chunked reads in sequence |
+| `dict_large_values_*` | Chunking in dict deserialization |
+| `nested_*` | Realistic mixed data structures |
+| `tuple_*` | Immutable structures |
+
+## Expected Results
+
+### Before PR (main branch)
+- Single large allocation per object
+- Risk of memory exhaustion with malicious pickles
+
+### After PR (unpickle-overallocate branch)
+- Chunked allocation (1MB at a time)
+- **Slightly higher CPU time** (multiple allocations + resizing)
+- **Significantly lower peak memory** (no large pre-allocation)
+- Protection against DoS via memory exhaustion
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Test Specific Sizes
+
+```bash
+# Test only 5MiB and 10MiB objects
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --sizes 5 10
+
+# Test large objects: 50, 100, 200 MiB
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --sizes 50 100 200
+```
+
+### More Iterations for Stable Timing
+
+```bash
+# Run 10 iterations per test for better statistics
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --iterations 10 --sizes 1 10
+```
+
+### JSON Output for Analysis
+
+```bash
+# Generate JSON for programmatic analysis
+build/python Tools/picklebench/memory_dos_impact.py --format json | python -m json.tool
+```
+
+## Interpreting Memory Results
+
+The **peak memory** metric shows the maximum memory allocated during unpickling:
+
+- **Without chunking**: Allocates full size immediately
+ - 10MB object → 10MB allocation upfront
+
+- **With chunking**: Allocates in 1MB chunks, grows geometrically
+ - 10MB object → starts with 1MB, grows: 2MB, 4MB, 8MB (final: ~10MB total)
+ - Peak is lower because allocation is incremental
+
+## Typical Results
+
+On a system with the PR applied, you should see:
+
+```
+1.00MiB Test Results
+ bytes_1.00MiB: ~0.3ms, 1.00MiB peak (just at threshold)
+
+2.00MiB Test Results
+ bytes_2.00MiB: ~0.8ms, 2.00MiB peak (chunked: 1MiB → 2MiB)
+
+10.00MiB Test Results
+ bytes_10.00MiB: ~3-5ms, 10.00MiB peak (chunked: 1→2→4→8→10 MiB)
+```
+
+Time overhead is minimal (~10-20% for very large objects), but memory safety is significantly improved.
