⚡ Performance

Configuration	Jobs Count	Execution Time	Memory Usage
Standard search	50 jobs	3-5 seconds	256 MB
Standard search	500 jobs	30-40 seconds	256 MB
Deep search	50 jobs	6-8 seconds	256 MB
Deep search	500 jobs	60-70 seconds	256 MB

Note: Deep search significantly increases execution time as it fetches detailed information for each job listing. Tests show that 256 MB RAM is sufficient for both standard and deep searches.
