 ## Features
 
 As with [`tungstenite-rs`](https://github.com/snapview/tungstenite-rs) TLS is supported on all platforms using [`native-tls`](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-native-tls) or [`rustls`](https://github.com/ctz/rustls) through feature flags: `native-tls`, `rustls-tls-native-roots` or `rustls-tls-webpki-roots` feature flags. Neither is enabled by default. See the `Cargo.toml` for more information. If you require support for secure WebSockets (`wss://`) enable one of them.

+## Is it performant?
+
+In essence, `tokio-tungstenite` is a wrapper for `tungstenite`, so the performance is capped by the performance of `tungstenite`. `tungstenite`
+has a decent performance (it has been used in production for real-time communication software, video conferencing, etc), but it's definitely
+not the fastest WebSocket library in the world at the moment of writing this note.
+
+If performance is of a paramount importance for you (especially if you send **large messages**), then you might want to check other libraries
+that have been designed to be performant or you could file a PR against `tungstenite` to improve the performance!
+
+We are aware of changes that both `tungstenite` and `tokio-tungstenite` need in order to fill the gap of ~30% performance difference between `tungstenite`
+and more performant libraries like `fastbwebsockets`, but we have not worked on that yet as it was not required for the use case that original authors designed
+the library for. In the course of past yeras have merged several performance improvements provided by the awesome community of Rust users who helped to improve
+the crate! For a quick summary of the pending performance problems/improvements, see [the comment](https://github.com/snapview/tungstenite-rs/issues/352#issuecomment-1537488614).
