Pull request overview
This PR optimizes Tedd.ObjectPool slow-path index rotation by removing % from the hot loop (replacing it with add + conditional subtract) and adds benchmark infrastructure to compare the optimized pool against an archived baseline implementation.
Changes:
- Optimized
AllocateSlow/FreeSlowrotation to pre-computestartwith unsigned modulo and replace per-iteration%with a bounds-check subtraction. - Added
Tedd.ObjectPool.Archiveproject and new benchmark types to compare “ArchivePool” vs “NewPool” and to micro-benchmark modulo vs branch subtraction. - Minor test fix and benchmark project reference updates.

💡 Hypothesis: The mechanical inefficiency identified was the use of the expensive modulo
%operator within the hotforloop for bothAllocateSlowandFreeSlowpaths to wrap array indices. Replacing the modulo with basic addition and a conditional subtraction (if (i >= len) i -= len;) should yield faster index resolution per pass, thus reducing overall latency during multi-threaded contention when rotating indices.🎯 Execution:
Tedd.ObjectPool.Archiveproject to establish a baseline.AllocateSlowandFreeSlowto pre-calculate the starting rotation offset using unsigned integer arithmetic to prevent negative modulo results on arithmetic overflow.forloops with conditional bounds checking.Tedd.ObjectPool.Benchmarksto symmetrically evaluateArchivePoolvsNewPool.📊 Empirical Impact:
Micro-benchmarking further verified bounds resolution calculations dropped from 193ns to 55ns per 63 iterations. Multithreading impact remained constant/slightly improved while GC pressure remains unchanged.
🔬 Verification Protocol:
To run the exact symmetrical benchmark that evaluates the micro-optimization impact in an isolated environment against multiple threads:
