+## Performance
+
+Median small message throughput measured using the Throughput example between two Intel(R) Xeon(R)
+CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz (that's 2012 hardware ...) running Linux 3.8.13-rt14.20.el6rt.x86_64,
+connected via a quiet GbE and when using gcc-6.2.0 for a RelWithDebInfo build is:
+
+![Throughput](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/assets/performance/throughput-polling.png)
+
+This is with the subscriber in polling mode. Listener mode is marginally slower; using a waitset the
+message rate for minimal size messages drops to 600k sample/s in synchronous delivery mode and about
+750k samples/s in asynchronous delivery mode. The configuration is an out-of-the-box configuration,
+tweaked only to increase the high-water mark for the reliability window on the writer side. For
+details, see the scripts in the ``performance`` directory and the [data](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/assets/performance/throughput.txt).
+
+There is some data on roundtrip latency below.

 ## Examples
 Now that you have built and installed **cyclonecdds** it is time to experiment with some examples.

-The number above were measure on Mac running a 4,2 GHz Intel Core i7 on December 12th 2018. From these number you can see how the roundtrip is incredibly stable and the minimal latency is now down to  17 micro-seconds (used to be 25 micro-seconds) on this HW.
