Performance benefits
The following table summarizes the performance improvements observed in testing with a memory-enabled agent versus a stateless agent:
| Metric | Without memory | With memory | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tool calls per request | 3 | 0 (memory retrieval) | Eliminated redundant tool calls |
| Token usage | ~70,000 | ~6,300 | 12x reduction |
| Response time | 9.25 seconds | 2 seconds | 3x+ faster |
| Memory lookup latency | N/A | Sub-millisecond | Valkey in-memory performance |
