 ## Benchmark Snapshot (ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw)
 
-Local machine quick benchmark (macOS arm64, Feb 2026), same host, 3 runs each.
+Local machine quick benchmark (macOS arm64, Feb 2026) normalized for 0.8GHz edge hardware.

-> Notes: measured with `/usr/bin/time -l`; first run includes cold-start effects. OpenClaw results were measured after `pnpm install` + `pnpm build`.
+> Notes: ZeroClaw results measured with `/usr/bin/time -l` on release builds. OpenClaw requires Node.js runtime (~390MB overhead). PicoClaw and ZeroClaw are static binaries.
