This is a powerful feature that can help you optimize your entire codebase in one go.
Since it runs on all the functions in your codebase, it can take some time to complete, please be patient.
As this runs you will see Codeflash opening pull requests for each function it successfully optimizes.

## Important considerations
- **Dedicated Optimization Machine:** Optimizing the entire codebase may require considerable time—up to one day. It's recommended to allocate a dedicated machine specifically for this long-running optimization task.

- **Minimize Background Processes:** To achieve optimal results, avoid running other processes on the optimization machine. Additional processes can introduce noise into Codeflash's runtime measurements, reducing the quality of the optimizations. Although Codeflash tolerates some runtime fluctuations, minimizing noise ensures the highest optimization quality.

let's reorganize to something like this:

Important Considerations

Dedicated Optimization Machine

Optimizing the entire codebase may require considerable time, up to one day. It's recommended to allocate a dedicated machine specifically for this long-running task for the following reasons:

  • Long Runtime Duration:
    A full codebase optimization is a time-intensive operation. Using a dedicated machine ensures the process runs uninterrupted and doesn't interfere with your main development environment.

  • Minimize Background Processes:
    Codeflash relies on runtime measurements to guide optimizations. Running additional processes on the machine can introduce noise, reducing the accuracy of these measurements and thus the quality of the optimizations. Although Codeflash tolerates some fluctuations, a clean and idle environment ensures the best possible results.

newlines between a markdown list breaks the flow. Simple bulleted lists with bolded headings is good enough.


- **Checkpoint and Recovery:** Codeflash automatically creates checkpoints as it identifies optimizations. If the optimization process is interrupted or encounters issues, you can resume the process by re-running `codeflash --all`. The command will prompt you to continue from the most recent checkpoint.
