Subject: [PATCH] perf: optimize defaults - chunk size 20 for precision, 100
 parallel requests

- Changed chunk size from 75 to 20 for better subtitle alignment
- Increased parallel requests from 50 to 100 for faster processing
- Updated README with chunk size recommendation for precision
- Updated license to GPL-3.0

 - **Drag & Drop** - Just drop your SRT file and go
-- **50 Parallel Requests** - Blazing fast translation
-- **Smart Chunking** - Processes 75 subtitle blocks per request for optimal speed/accuracy balance
+- **100 Parallel Requests** - Blazing fast translation
+- **Smart Chunking** - Processes 20 subtitle blocks per request for optimal precision
 - **Marker-Based Alignment** - Each subtitle block stays aligned with its timestamp
 - **Custom Instructions** - Add context-specific translation rules (e.g., "Use informal 'sen' instead of formal 'siz'")
 - **Custom Model Support** - Use any model available on OpenRouter

+**Chunk Size: 20** is recommended for better precision. Smaller chunks mean:
+- Less text drift between subtitle blocks
+- More accurate timing alignment
+- Slightly more API calls, but with 100 parallel requests it's still fast
 
 For the best **performance/cost** balance, we recommend:
