## Table: HW Defense Performance Overhead by Security Configuration
### Overview
The image presents a structured table comparing performance overhead percentages across different security configurations under the "No Use w/o Auth." category. The table is organized into two rows: the first row defines security configuration categories, and the second row quantifies their associated performance overhead.
### Components/Axes
- **Header Structure**:
- Primary Header: "HW Defense"
- Subheader: "No Use w/o Auth."
- Sub-subheaders:
- Permissive
- Permissive+BR
- Strict
- Strict+BR
- Load
- Full
- **Data Rows**:
- Row 1: Security configuration categories (labels)
- Row 2: Performance overhead percentages (values)
### Detailed Analysis
- **Security Configuration Categories**:
1. Permissive
2. Permissive+BR
3. Strict
4. Strict+BR
5. Load
6. Full
- **Performance Overhead Values**:
- Permissive: 10.7%
- Permissive+BR: 22.3%
- Strict: 36.1%
- Strict+BR: 45%
- Load: 100%
- Full: 125%
### Key Observations
1. **Progressive Overhead Increase**: Performance overhead increases monotonically from 10.7% (Permissive) to 125% (Full).
2. **BR Impact**: Adding BR (likely "Blocklist/Restrictions") to configurations increases overhead by 11.6% (Permissive→Permissive+BR) and 18.9% (Strict→Strict+BR).
3. **Threshold Effects**:
- "Load" configuration reaches 100% overhead (baseline)
- "Full" configuration exceeds baseline by 25%
### Interpretation
The data demonstrates a clear trade-off between security granularity and system performance. The "Full" configuration, representing maximum security constraints, incurs 125% overhead – more than double the baseline performance. This suggests that stricter security policies (particularly those involving blocklists/restrictions) significantly impact system efficiency. The "Load" configuration at 100% overhead may represent a reference point for maximum acceptable performance degradation in this context. The BR modifier consistently increases overhead across all security levels, indicating that blocklist operations are a major contributor to performance costs.
