+Performance Optimization with Shared Styles
+-------------------------------------------
+The ``use_shared_styles`` parameter (enabled by default) optimizes performance when displaying 
+multiple DataFrames in notebook environments:
+
+ .. code-block:: python
+    from datafusion.html_formatter import StyleProvider, configure_formatter
+    # Default: Use shared styles (recommended for notebooks)
+    configure_formatter(use_shared_styles=True)
+
+    # Disable shared styles (each DataFrame includes its own styles)
+    configure_formatter(use_shared_styles=False)
+
+When ``use_shared_styles=True``:
+- CSS styles and JavaScript are included only once per notebook session
+- This reduces HTML output size and prevents style duplication
+- Improves rendering performance with many DataFrames
+- Applies consistent styling across all DataFrames
