Previously, Item was a struct of a NonZeroU64, an Option which was usually unset or irrelevant, and a 4-variant enum. So collectively, the size of an Item was 24 bytes, but only 8 bytes were used for the most part. So this takes advantage of the fact that it is probably impossible to exhaust the total space of SbTags, and steals 3 bits from it to pack the whole struct into a single u64. This bit-packing means that we reduce peak memory usage when Miri goes memory-bound by ~3x. We also get CPU performance improvements of varying size, because not only are we simply accessing less memory, we can now compare a Vec<Item> using a memcmp because it does not have any padding. |
