 ## How does llama-swap work?
 
-When a request is made to an OpenAI compatible endpoint, lama-swap will extract the `model` value and load the appropriate server configuration to serve it. If the wrong upstream server is running, it will be replaced with the correct one. This is where the "swap" part comes in. The upstream server is automatically swapped to the correct one to serve the request.

If the wrong upstream server is running, it will be replaced with the correct one. This is where the "swap" part comes in. The upstream server is automatically swapped to the correct one to serve the request.
 
 In the most basic configuration llama-swap handles one model at a time. For more advanced use cases, the `groups` feature allows multiple models to be loaded at the same time. You have complete control over how your system resources are used.
 
 ## config.yaml
 
-llama-swap's configuration is purposefully simple:
+llama-swap is managed entirely through a yaml configuration file.
+
+It can be very minimal to start:
 
 ```yaml
 models:
   "qwen2.5":
     cmd: |
-      /app/llama-server
+      /path/to/llama-server
       -hf bartowski/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M
       --port ${PORT}
-
-  "smollm2":
-    cmd: |
-      /app/llama-server
-      -hf bartowski/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M
-      --port ${PORT}
 ```
 
-.. but also supports many advanced features:
+However, there are many more capabilities that llama-swap supports:
 
 - `groups` to run multiple models at once
-- `macros` for reusable snippets
 - `ttl` to automatically unload models
+- `macros` for reusable snippets
 - `aliases` to use familiar model names (e.g., "gpt-4o-mini")
-- `env` variables to pass custom environment to inference servers
+- `env` to pass custom environment variables to inference servers
+- `cmdStop` for to gracefully stop Docker/Podman containers
 - `useModelName` to override model names sent to upstream servers
 - `healthCheckTimeout` to control model startup wait times
 - `${PORT}` automatic port variables for dynamic port assignment
-- `cmdStop` for to gracefully stop Docker/Podman containers

+The code in `event` was originally a part of https://github.com/kelindar/event (v1.5.2)
+
+The original code uses a `time.Ticker` to process the event queue which caused a large increase in CPU usage ([#189](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/189)). This code was ported to remove the ticker and instead be more event driven.
