Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Add performance instrumentation to key methods

- Add timing metrics to check_pool loop for monitoring cycle duration
- Add performance metrics to purge methods (pending, ready, completed queues)
- Performance metrics track operation duration using vmpooler_performance gauge
- Add warning logs for operations exceeding 5 second threshold in check_pool
- All existing metrics (clone, destroy) already have timing instrumentation
- Tests passing: 866 examples, 0 failures

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Add Phase 2 optimizations: status API caching and
 improved Redis pipelining

- Add in-memory cache for /status endpoint with 30s TTL
- Cache keyed by view parameters to handle different query patterns
- Add cache clearing for tests to prevent interference
- Optimize get_queue_metrics to use single pipeline for all Redis calls
  - Previously made 7+ separate pipeline calls
  - Now combines all queue metrics into one pipeline (7n+2 operations)
  - Reduces Redis round trips and improves API response time
- Update unit tests to match new pipelining behavior
- All 866 tests passing

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Revert status cache to use class variables with RuboCop
 exceptions

Class variables are needed here because:
- Cache must be shared across all Sinatra app instances
- Class instance variables don't work in Sinatra's dynamic instantiation model
- This is a valid use case for class variables despite RuboCop warning
