+Profile the synchronize() round-trip: experiment script -> job file -> result file -> result script.
+
+Measures time spent in:
+  1. synchronize() polling loop (ExperimentHandling)
+  2. BlockingResultReader polling (waiting for result files)
+  3. XML parsing + base64 decode (ResultReader)
+  4. File I/O (write job / read result)
+  5. ResultHandling iteration overhead
+
+Usage:

+Defaults: 100 jobs, 1024 samples, spool=/tmp/damaris_profile

+The synchronize() round-trip bottleneck analysis:
+
+1. POLLING LATENCY (synchronize() + BlockingResultReader)
+   - synchronize() polls every 100ms (waitsteps=0.1)
+   - BlockingResultReader polls every 100ms (poll_time=0.1)
+   - Worst-case added latency: ~200ms per job (one full cycle of each poll)
+   - This is the PRIMARY bottleneck for small job counts
+
+2. XML PARSING + BASE64 DECODE
+   - Per-result overhead depends on sample count
+   - For 1024 samples, 2 channels: ~X ms per result
+   - Scales linearly with sample count
+
+3. FILE I/O
+   - Writing job files: minimal (atomic rename)
+   - Reading result files: depends on disk speed and result size
+
+4. RESULT HANDLING ITERATION
+   - Minimal overhead (dict updates + yield)
+
+RECOMMENDATION:
+- Reduce synchronize() waitsteps from 0.1 to 0.01 for lower latency
+- Reduce BlockingResultReader poll_time from 0.1 to 0.01
