Update threading performance report with reproduced numbers

The previous report claimed 1.0M req/s at 740ns serial CPU work for the /ok health check endpoint. That measurement was made with an earlier design that transferred unique ownership of connections through the pipeline.

The current server-owned connection model adds per-request synchronization overhead (mutex + WeakRef + pending response queue) that lowers the raw /ok throughput. Reproducing on an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 with the current Release build gives approximately 825k sustained req/s with the same 740ns serial CPU work.

Updated the report to reflect the reproduced numbers and added a note explaining the historical context and why the ownership model changed (to support streaming endpoints like /v1/subscribe and safer async responses).

 ## Summary
 
-WeaselDB's /ok health check endpoint achieves 1M requests/second with 740ns of configurable CPU work per request through the 4-stage commit pipeline, while maintaining 0% CPU usage when idle. The configurable CPU work serves both as a health check (validating the full pipeline) and as a benchmarking tool for measuring per-request processing capacity.
