**Timer ISR Frequency:** Still 10,000/sec (100 interrupts × 100 Hz)
**Event Processing:** 200-600 events/sec depending on number of dimmers

## Known Limitations
### 1. Hybrid Approach
### 1. Event Queue Search
Currently runs both event queue and legacy code. This provides safety but doesn't achieve full optimization potential.
Using linear search O(n) for event processing. Acceptable for small queue sizes (typically < 10 active events) but could be optimized with priority queue for larger systems.
### 2. Event Queue Search
Using linear search O(n) for finding next event. Acceptable for small queue but could be optimized with priority queue for larger systems.
### 3. Timer Still Periodic
### 2. Timer Still Periodic
Timer still runs at 100μs intervals. Full optimization would require one-shot timer mode.
### 4. Toggle Mode in ISR
### 3. Toggle Mode Not Implemented
Toggle mode still updates `dimPulseBegin[]` in timer ISR. Better approach would be separate FreeRTOS task.
Toggle mode API exists but is not functional in this release. Will be implemented before release 1.1.0. See FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md for implementation plan.
## Future Enhancements
See FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md for detailed implementation plans.
### Phase 1: Toggle Mode (Release 1.1.0)
Implement toggle mode using a FreeRTOS task or timer callback to update dimPulseBegin[] values periodically.
### Phase 2: One-Shot Timer Mode

### Phase 3: Priority Queue
Replace linear search with min-heap for O(log n) event scheduling.
### Phase 4: Toggle Task
Move toggle mode logic to FreeRTOS task running at lower priority.
Replace linear search with min-heap for O(log n) event scheduling. See FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md.
## API Compatibility Matrix

- Formula: `fire_time = zc_time + (dimPulseBegin × interval)`
The hybrid approach ensures zero breaking changes while providing infrastructure for future optimization. The event-driven architecture is more efficient, more precise, and more scalable than the original implementation.
The pure event-driven implementation provides a clean, efficient architecture with precise timing control. No legacy fallback code - all triac control is handled through the event queue system.
**Note:** Toggle mode is not implemented in this release. It will be added in release 1.1.0 (see FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md).
