From 9acd701aaaf93a0d62fa04eea0c3aa71987a9d38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kamron Batman <3953314+kamronbatman@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 22:51:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf(saves): workers iterate entity dictionaries directly; main thread joins the drain Removes the per-entity handoff from the freeze entirely. GenericEntityPersistence publishes 4096-slot ranges over its dictionary's backing entries array, and workers serialize occupied slots (value != null) directly via a ShadowEntry struct that mirrors the runtime's private Dictionary Entry layout. Safe because the dictionary is frozen during Saving (mutations divert to the pending safety queues). The layout is proven at startup before any code reads through it: validation measures the true Entry stride via precise allocation accounting (so all shadow reads are guaranteed in-bounds), then compares every key and value of a churned, resized, freelist-exercised dictionary reading value slots as raw pointer bits only - never materializing a managed reference until the layout is proven. If a future runtime changes Dictionary internals, validation fails and saves fall back to the enumerate-and-push path with a logged warning. The main thread now joins the drain through an inline (threadless) worker after publishing work, instead of idling while the thread workers finish - worth a full worker share on the freeze and proportionally more on low-core hosts. Measured through the real pipeline classes (24 cores, 10M entities, 1.7GB, dense 2-byte write profile): publish cost drops from ~55ms to ~0.1ms, the freeze is now bound by pure serialize throughput at ~99ms steady state (vs ~740ms before this branch, ~7.5x), and the first save after boot drops from ~468ms to ~139ms because fine-grained ranges self-balance without needing size estimates.
