Are performance metrics published/defined in comparison to rTorrent or Transmission or Deluge?

Deluge locked up at 150 torrents for me.
Transmission started at around 2000.
rTorrent is good until around 8000 but will hard lock on any data removals/modifications and drop peers as a result. Defined crashes from the RPC interface too make this undesirable in 2018.

Is there a conversion tool? Something like bt-migrate?
Private tracker support? What does Synapse announce as? Assuming it's going to not be whitelisted anywhere.

I would like to do some sort of "official" performance comparisons, though brief testing on my part (1000-2000 torrents) indicates reasonable performance. For conversion, no such tools exist yet, but I'm definitely interested in making it easy for users of other clients to switch over.

Synapse supports the private tracker BEP and uses the peer ID-SY0001-. We plan on trying to get it whitelisted on private trackers (currently available on one).

May I ask which private tracker its approved on?

At this point rc2 has been released and I think synapse is generally stable enough to be used, with migration now available via the import feature.

Prior to releasing the actual 1.0, I'll begin releasing performance statistics and in the meanwhile any performance concers should be opened as issues.

v1 is here finally. Are there any update on performance tests?

I actually totally forgot about posting the results of performance tests, thanks for the ping. In general I've run simulations of up to 10k torrents and nothing explicitly breaks, although idle CPU usage shoots up. I'll look into publishing results in some sort of quantifiable way soon.
