+GPU-inference optimization log. For each algorithm we profile it with a built-in, backend-agnostic harness ([`lite/bench/profiler.h`](https://github.com/xlite-dev/lite.ai.toolkit/blob/main/lite/bench/profiler.h)), then move the CPU pre/post-processing (affine warp, color convert, normalize, tensor layout, paste-back, NMS …) into **fused CUDA kernels** with reused device buffers and pinned + async copies, so the algorithm spends its time on real inference instead of host glue and `cudaMalloc`/sync round-trips. All numbers are **RTX 4090 · TensorRT 10.1 · CUDA 12.4**, median (p50), compute-only, reproducible via the `lite_*_bench` binaries.

+
+paste-back is numerically equivalent to the CPU path (max |diff| = 2/255). The static box mask used to be rebuilt every frame (a large-kernel Gaussian blur) although it only depends on the crop size. With pre/post off the critical path, inference is now ~60% of the stage — FP16 is the next lever.
