Tailslayer

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

TL;DR
Implement tailslayer for RAM reads (all? hottest?) to lower average read latency and address the most common megabase hardware limitation
What?
Avoid waiting for DRAM refresh with clever software tricks.

Why?
Bigger, more performant megabases. Factory must grow.
Seriously?
Not entirely. I understand that this is a somewhat insanely big request that would only seriously affect a small fraction of the playerbase. That doesn't even include me 😅

TL;DR: he wrote obscure C++ library to speed up memory operations. Probably vibe coded, no idea as I did not watch the video. Library is here:

@Tailslayer where are benchmark results you did before and after? What speed gain are we talking about?
