+## Comparison 2025.5 vs 2026.5
+
+Metric/Dimension | HiveMQ-CE 2025.5 | HiveMQ-CE 2026.5 | Impact
+--- | --- | --- | ---
+CPU: Steady-State Load | Moderate; higher context-switching during connection churn. | Low; optimized Netty event-loops and fewer cryptographic cycles. | Lower overall CPU usage per node; higher headroom for container auto-scaling.
+CPU: Under Attack / Malformed Traffic | High; spikes due to validation logic processing bad payloads. | Extremely Low; drops packets immediately at the fixed header. | Prevents denial-of-service (DoS) via CPU starvation.
+Memory: Heap Profile | Bursty/Sawtooth; high allocation rate requires frequent GC sweeps. | Flatter/Predictable; strict early packet limits protect the heap. | Minimizes the risk of JVM Out-Of-Memory (OOM) kills in Kubernetes.
+Memory: Per-Client Footprint | Baseline (~X KB per idle connection). | ~5-10% lower per-client overhead (via SDK 4.52.0 maps). | Allows higher client density on the same instance/node sizes.
+TLS Handshake Efficiency | 2 Round-Trips (RTT) on standard legacy ciphers. | 1 Round-Trip (RTT) optimized for TLS 1.3 / ECDHE. | Drastically speeds up reconnection times for fleet devices on cellular networks.
+Underlying Base Image | eclipse-temurin:21-jre-noble | Updated Eclipse Temurin Base with matured runtime patches. | Benefits from core JVM-level security and threading optimizations.
