Global options

Option	Purpose
--sync	Force synced writes.
--compression <mode>	Select compression mode.
--zstd-level <level>	Set zstd level for zstd mode.
--compression-min-bytes <bytes>	Minimum value size before compression.
--key-file <path>	Use an encryption key file.
--no-mmap-reads	Use direct file reads instead of mmap.
--read-only	Open an existing database without write/create access.

Benchmark commands

taidb bench-large <path>
taidb bench-enterprise <path>
taidb bench-compression <path>

bench-compression creates separate output files for no compression, zstd-fast, and zstd-dense, then reports write speed, read speed, verify speed, file size, compression ratio, and space savings.

Use benchmark output as a comparison artifact. Include hardware and settings when publishing results.
