Add performance benchmarks to README

Documented measured build times comparing Webpack and Rspack:
- Development builds: Rspack 2.2x faster (4.74s → 2.15s)
- Production builds: Rspack 1.56x faster (11.26s → 7.21s)

Added new "Webpack and Rspack" section explaining how to switch
between bundlers and the performance benefits of using Rspack.

 + **Testing Mode**: When running tests, it is useful to run `foreman start -f Procfile.spec` in order to have webpack automatically recompile the static bundles. Rspec is configured to automatically check whether or not this process is running. If it is not, it will automatically rebuild the webpack bundle to ensure you are not running tests on stale client code. This is achieved via the `ReactOnRails::TestHelper.configure_rspec_to_compile_assets(config)`
 line in the `rails_helper.rb` file. If you are using this project as an example and are not using RSpec, you may want to implement similar logic in your own project.

+## Webpack and Rspack
 
-_Converted to use Shakapacker webpack configuration_.
+_Converted to use Shakapacker with support for both Webpack and Rspack bundlers_.
 
+This project supports both Webpack and Rspack as JavaScript bundlers via [Shakapacker](https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker). Switch between them by changing the `assets_bundler` setting in `config/shakapacker.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Use Rspack (default - faster builds)
+assets_bundler: rspack
+
+# Or use Webpack (classic, stable)
+assets_bundler: webpack
+```
+
+### Performance Comparison
+
+Measured build times for this project:
+
+| Build Type | Webpack | Rspack | Improvement |
+|------------|---------|--------|-------------|
+| Development | 4.74s | 2.15s | **2.2x faster** |
+| Production | 11.26s | 7.21s | **1.56x faster** |
+
+**Benefits of Rspack:**
+- 54% faster development builds (saves ~2.6s per build)
+- 36% faster production builds (saves ~4s per build)
+- Faster incremental rebuilds during development
+- Reduced CI build times
+- Drop-in replacement - same configuration files work for both bundlers
+
+### Configuration Files
+
+All bundler configuration is in `config/webpack/`:
+- `webpack.config.js` - Main entry point (auto-detects Webpack or Rspack)
+- `commonWebpackConfig.js` - Shared configuration
+- `clientWebpackConfig.js` - Client bundle settings
+- `serverWebpackConfig.js` - Server-side rendering bundle
+- `development.js`, `production.js`, `test.js` - Environment-specific settings
