 `reth-bench` contains different commands to benchmark different patterns of engine API calls.
 The `reth-bench new-payload-fcu` command is the most representative of ethereum mainnet live sync, alternating between sending `engine_newPayload` calls and `engine_forkchoiceUpdated` calls.
 
+The `new-payload-fcu` command supports two optional waiting modes that can be used together or independently:
+- `--wait-time <duration>`: Fixed sleep interval between blocks (e.g., `--wait-time 100ms`)
+- `--wait-for-persistence`: Waits for blocks to be persisted using the `reth_subscribePersistedBlock` subscription
+
+When using `--wait-for-persistence`, the benchmark waits after every `(threshold + 1)` blocks, where the threshold defaults to the engine's persistence threshold (2). This can be customized with `--persistence-threshold <N>`.
+
+By default, the WebSocket URL for persistence subscriptions is derived from `--engine-rpc-url` (converting to ws:// on port 8546). Use `--ws-rpc-url` to override this.
+
 Below is an overview of how to run a benchmark:

 //!
 //! ## Feature Flags
 //!
+//! ### Default Features
+//!
 //! - `jemalloc`: Uses [jemallocator](https://github.com/tikv/jemallocator) as the global allocator.
 //!   This is **not recommended on Windows**. See [here](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1974-global-allocators.html#jemalloc)
 //!   for more info.
+//! - `otlp`: Enables [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) metrics export to a configured OTLP
+//!   collector endpoint.
+//! - `js-tracer`: Enables the `JavaScript` tracer for the `debug_trace` endpoints, allowing custom
+//!   `JavaScript`-based transaction tracing.
+//! - `keccak-cache-global`: Enables global caching for Keccak256 hashes to improve performance.
+//! - `asm-keccak`: Replaces the default, pure-Rust implementation of Keccak256 with one implemented
+//!   in assembly; see [the `keccak-asm` crate](https://github.com/DaniPopes/keccak-asm) for more
+//!   details and supported targets.
+//!
+//! ### Allocator Features
+//!
 //! - `jemalloc-prof`: Enables [jemallocator's](https://github.com/tikv/jemallocator) heap profiling
 //!   and leak detection functionality. See [jemalloc's opt.prof](https://jemalloc.net/jemalloc.3.html#opt.prof)
-//!   documentation for usage details. This is **not recommended on Windows**. See [here](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1974-global-allocators.html#jemalloc)
-//!   for more info.
-//! - `asm-keccak`: replaces the default, pure-Rust implementation of Keccak256 with one implemented
-//!   in assembly; see [the `keccak-asm` crate](https://github.com/DaniPopes/keccak-asm) for more
-//!   details and supported targets
+//!   documentation for usage details. This is **not recommended on Windows**.
+//! - `jemalloc-symbols`: Enables jemalloc symbols for profiling. Includes `jemalloc-prof`.
+//! - `jemalloc-unprefixed`: Uses unprefixed jemalloc symbols.
+//! - `tracy-allocator`: Enables [Tracy](https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy) profiler allocator
+//!   integration for memory profiling.
+//! - `snmalloc`: Uses [snmalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc) as the global allocator.
+//!   Use `--no-default-features` when enabling this, as jemalloc takes precedence.
+//! - `snmalloc-native`: Uses snmalloc with native CPU optimizations. Use `--no-default-features`
+//!   when enabling this.
+//!
+//! ### Log Level Features
+//!
 //! - `min-error-logs`: Disables all logs below `error` level.
 //! - `min-warn-logs`: Disables all logs below `warn` level.
 //! - `min-info-logs`: Disables all logs below `info` level. This can speed up the node, since fewer
 //!   calls to the logging component are made.
 //! - `min-debug-logs`: Disables all logs below `debug` level.
 //! - `min-trace-logs`: Disables all logs below `trace` level.
+//!
+//! ### Development Features
+//!
+//! - `dev`: Enables development mode features, including test vector generation commands.
