+### Opting Out for Maximum Throughput
+
+:::warning Performance vs. Safety
+
+Disabling panic capture removes the recovery overhead but will let panics crash your stream. Only opt out in trusted, performance-critical pipelines.
+
+:::
+
+If you are building high-throughput pipelines, you can opt-out per-subscription. The library provides a small helper to disable panic capture on the subscription context. Use it when you want to measure pure hot-path throughput or when you intentionally accept panics to propagate.
+
+```go
+// Create a context that disables observer panic capture for the subscription.
+ctx := ro.WithObserverPanicCaptureDisabled(context.Background())
+
+sum := int64(0)
+pipeline := ro.Pipe2(
+    ro.Range(0, 1_000_000),
+    ro.Map(func(v int64) int64 { return v + 1 }),
+    ro.Filter(func(v int64) bool { return v%2 == 0 }),
+)
+
+// SubscribeWithContext will pass the context to the subscription and
+// downstream notifications — the opt-out avoids per-callback recover wrappers.
+pipeline.SubscribeWithContext(ctx, ro.NewObserver(
+    func(v int64) { sum += v },
+    func(err error) { panic(err) },
+    func() {},
+))
+```
+
+### Panic capture
+
+Observers capture panics by default. If you need panics to propagate (for
+benchmarking or performance-sensitive workloads), either construct an unsafe
+observer with `NewObserverUnsafe` / `NewObserverWithContextUnsafe`, or
+disable capture for a specific subscription by passing a context derived
+with `WithObserverPanicCaptureDisabled(ctx)` to `SubscribeWithContext`:
+
+```go
+// Disable capture only for this subscription
+ctx := ro.WithObserverPanicCaptureDisabled(context.Background())
+pipeline.SubscribeWithContext(ctx, observer)
+```
+
 ### State After Error
 
 Once an Observer receives an error, it rejects further notifications:

+### Subscriber Concurrency Modes
+
+High-throughput sources can avoid unnecessary synchronization by selecting the right subscriber implementation. The core library now exposes `NewSingleProducerSubscriber`/`NewSingleProducerObservableWithContext`, and operators such as `Range` automatically opt into the `ConcurrencyModeSingleProducer` fast-path when there is exactly one upstream writer. This mode bypasses the `Lock`/`Unlock` calls entirely while retaining panic safety and teardown behavior. Use the following guidance when choosing a mode:
+
+| Concurrency mode | Locking strategy | Drop policy | Recommended usage |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `ConcurrencyModeSafe` | `sync.Mutex` | Blocks producers | Multiple writers or callbacks that may concurrently re-enter observers |
+| `ConcurrencyModeEventuallySafe` | `sync.Mutex` | Drops when contended | Fan-in scenarios where losing values is acceptable |
+| `ConcurrencyModeUnsafe` | No-op lock wrapper | Blocks producers | Single writer, but still routes through the locking API surface |
+| `ConcurrencyModeSingleProducer` | No locking | Blocks producers | Single writer that needs the lowest possible overhead |
+
+Note on panic-capture interaction
+: Disabling capture lets some fast-paths
+: (for example the single-producer and unsafe modes) avoid wrapping observer
+: callbacks in the usual defer/recover machinery, which reduces
+: per-notification overhead. Use `ro.WithObserverPanicCaptureDisabled(ctx)`
+: when subscribing in benchmarks to avoid mutating global state and to keep
+: tests parallel-friendly.
+
+Run the million-row benchmark to compare the trade-offs:
+
+```bash
+go test -run=^$ -bench BenchmarkMillionRowChallenge -benchmem ./testing
+```
+
+Running the benchmark (tips)
+:
+- The benchmark harness in `testing/benchmark_million_rows_test.go` disables panic capture for the duration of the bench using a per-subscription context opt-out so the harness doesn't mutate global state. If you want to reproduce realistic production numbers, run the benchmark both with capture enabled and disabled.
+- Increase bench time to reduce noise:
+
+```bash
+go test -run=^$ -bench BenchmarkMillionRowChallenge -benchmem ./testing -benchtime=10s
+```
+
+- To check for races, run:
+
+```bash
+go test -race ./...
+```
+
+- To profile CPU or mutex contention, use `pprof` with the benchmark or a traced run and inspect lock profiles to see how much time is spent acquiring `sync.Mutex` vs useful work.
+
+
+Sample results on a 1M element pipeline:
+
+- `single-producer`: 60.3 ms/op, 1.5 KiB/op, 39 allocs/op【9dc40c†L1-L5】【f63774†L1-L2】
+- `unsafe-mutex`: 63.2 ms/op, 1.5 KiB/op, 39 allocs/op【f63774†L1-L2】【604fb9†L1-L2】
+- `safe-mutex`: 67.1 ms/op, 1.6 KiB/op, 40 allocs/op【604fb9†L1-L2】【9ecf78†L1-L4】
+
+The single-producer path trims roughly 4–6% off the runtime compared to the previous `unsafe` mode while preserving allocation characteristics. Stick with the safe variants whenever multiple goroutines might call `Next` concurrently.

+# Billion-rows benchmark (example)
+
+This example contains a benchmark harness that runs a pipeline against a static
+CSV file (one integer per line). It's intended as a reproducible example for
+large-file benchmarks such as the "billion rows" challenge.
+
+Files
+- `benchmark_test.go`: the benchmark. It expects a static fixture file with
+  one integer per line and emits those values through a simple CSV source.
+- `fixtures/sample.csv`: a tiny sample fixture included for CI and quick runs.
+- `scripts/expand_fixture.sh`: simple shell script to expand the small sample
+  into a larger fixture by repeating lines.
+
+How to run
+1. Use the small sample (fast / CI):
+
+```bash
+# from repo root
+go test -run=^$ -bench BenchmarkMillionRowChallenge ./examples/billion-rows-benchmark -benchmem
+```
+
+2. Use a larger static fixture (recommended for real measurements):
+
+- Obtain or generate a static CSV where each line is an integer (the 1B
+  challenge provides generators). Place it at `examples/billion-rows-benchmark/fixtures/1brc.csv` or set `FIXTURE_PATH`.
+
+Example to expand the included sample to 1_000_000 lines (quick, not realistic):
+
+```bash
+cd examples/billion-rows-benchmark
+mkdir -p fixtures
+./scripts/expand_fixture.sh fixtures/sample.csv fixtures/1m.csv 1000000
+export FIXTURE_PATH=$(pwd)/fixtures/1m.csv
+# run the bench (this will still run the benchmark harness, which runs the pipeline once per iteration)
+go test -run=^$ -bench BenchmarkMillionRowChallenge -benchmem
+```
+
+Notes
+- The benchmark accepts `FIXTURE_PATH` environment variable to point to the CSV fixture. If not set, it falls back to `fixtures/sample.csv` included in the example.
+- For the official 1B challenge, follow the instructions in the challenge repository to generate the required static file and set `FIXTURE_PATH` to that file.
+- The benchmark uses the per-subscription helper `ro.WithObserverPanicCaptureDisabled(ctx)` to avoid mutating global state when measuring hot-path performance.
