It always felt strange to me that
+silt/+maltiterate over the list of elements in a loop, assembling an nlr-tree by putting one element at a time. Doing so may cause arbitrary reshuffling of nodes on every put, since there is no guarantee for the order of insertions relative to +gor/+mor orderings.This PR adds a fast path for
+gas:by/+gas:inif the input tree is empty. The fast path is basically quicksort, where the pivot is chosen by taking a "mor"-most element, and the partions are made with+gor.Extra attention was payed to
+gas:byjet to make sure that for each key only the last key-value pair is taken: order of partitions is preserved, and the last key-value pair is used as a pivot, keys being equal.Tested by setting
iceof jets toc3n, then booting and running the test suite.When comparing performance I saw ~30% improvement for the fast path.
