 ## Immediate Next Steps
-1. Model Integration (Priority)
+1. Performance Optimization (Priority)
    ```python
-   # Add to rides/models.py:
-   class Ride(HistoricalModel):
-       # Update save method
-       def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
-           from history_tracking.signals import get_current_branch, ChangesetContextManager
-           # Add version control logic
+   # Add to history_tracking/batch.py:
+   class BatchChangeProcessor:
+       def process_changes(self, changes):
+           """Process multiple changes efficiently"""
+           with transaction.atomic():
+               # Batch processing logic
    ```
 
-2. Template Updates
-   ```html
-   <!-- Add to each list template -->
-   {% if version_control.vcs_enabled %}
-   {% include "history_tracking/includes/version_status.html" %}
-   {% endif %}
+2. Caching Enhancement
+   ```python
+   # Add to history_tracking/caching.py:
+   class VersionHistoryCache:
+       def cache_version_info(self):
+           """Cache frequently accessed version data"""
+           # Caching implementation
    ```
 
-3. Testing Setup
-   - Create test cases for model integration
-   - Verify UI functionality
-   - Test version control operations
+3. Testing Expansion
+   - Add performance benchmarks
+   - Implement stress testing
+   - Create scalability tests
 
 ## Active Issues
-1. Need to ensure consistent version control behavior across models
-2. Must handle relationships between versioned models
+1. Need to implement batch processing for large changesets
+2. Must enhance caching strategy for version history
 3. Need to implement proper cleanup for old versions
+4. Performance optimization required for large history sets
+5. Archiving strategy needed for historical data
 
 ## Technical Dependencies
 - django-simple-history: Base history tracking
 - HTMX: UI interactions
 - Alpine.js: Frontend reactivity
 - Custom VCS components
+- Redis: Enhanced caching (planned)
+- Celery: Async processing (planned)
 
 ## Integration Strategy
-1. Roll out model integration one app at a time
-2. Update templates to include version control UI
-3. Add list view version indicators
-4. Implement relationship handling
+1. Roll out performance optimizations
+2. Implement enhanced caching
+3. Deploy batch processing
+4. Add archiving system
+5. Implement async operations
 
 ## Monitoring Points
 - Track version control operation performance
 - Monitor database size with version history
 - Watch for merge conflicts
 - Track user interaction patterns
