perf(resolve): faster small-project index; ASCII fast path for minified one-line files - #477
Conversation
…r small full indexes The kernel's UTF-16 column to byte offset helper walked the line from its start on every call. In a minified one-line file such as jquery.min.js that is tens of thousands of characters, many times per reference; the ASCII prefix now answers in one check. Separately, a full index of a project with few nodes per reference (gin, Alamofire) loads the node table instead of querying for each lookup.
📝 Walkthrough
Priority: ⬇️ Low Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Eligible low-density batch jobs using the worker pool still load the full node table, missing the intended lookup optimization. This is a bounded performance gap; pass the selection to workers or explicitly accept the limitation before merging. Pre-merge checks |

- Line 102: Update the changelog entry’s node-table lookup description to state
that loading occurs when either references reach 15,000 or references per node
reach 0.3; clarify that syncs below 15,000 references may still load the table
when the ratio threshold is met, and remove the incorrect claim that gin has
fewer than 0.3 references per node.

Indexing Alamofire's resolution step takes a median 0.93 s instead of 1.25 s, 26% less (profiling runs, 5,614 nodes and 13,673 edges either way). The README had listed gin's and Alamofire's slower full index as an unexplained cost; this removes two causes.
What changed
js_unit_to_byte(kernel,resolve/names.rs) converts a UTF-16 column to a byte offset. It walked the line from its start on every call. Alamofire'sdocs/js/jquery.min.jsis one 87 KB line, and the resolver called the helper dozens of times per reference in it, so those 1,004 references cost about 380 µs each, 40% of Alamofire's resolution time. It now returns at once when the bytes before the offset are ASCII, and otherwise walks as before. A unit test compares it to the old walk at every offset on ASCII, accented, astral and U+2028 strings.Measured (alternating runs, same host, load 3 to 5, so figures are screening evidence, not benchmark results; the benchmark has not been re-run)
In these runs gin was not slower than upstream (fork 1.06–1.17 s, upstream 1.27–1.29 s). A busy host hurts upstream's parallel workers more than the fork's single thread, so only the quiet-host re-run settles gin.
Checks
__tests__/readme-sync.test.tspasses after the README edit.Related: #92 and #115 removed per-reference rescans in the walkers; this is the resolver's own column helper, which they did not touch.
README rows checked: "What it costs", Slower full index on small projects (rewritten); the Bun bullet, database-size and fewer-edges bullets and the measured-results tables are unchanged because nothing here moves them. Open questions entry removed.
