+## Combine Reducers Optimization (Phase 10)
+
+In Phase 10, we optimized `combine_reducers` by moving the dispatch loop and state aggregation logic to Cython.
+
+| Test Case | Baseline (Python) | Optimized (Cython) | Speedup |
+|-----------|-------------------|--------------------|-------------|
+| **10 Reducers** | 12.9 μs | 10.5 μs | **1.23x** |
+| **50 Reducers** | 69.5 μs | 55.3 μs | **1.26x** |
+| **100 Reducers** | 178.0 μs | 154.5 μs | **1.15x** |
+
+The dispatch loop avoids Python attribute access overhead (`getattr`) during state decomposition and aggregates results efficiently, though gains are capped by the execution time of the underlying Python reducers.

 ## Build & Reproduction
 
 To reproduce these results, you can build the extension and run the benchmarks.
