Note
100% Claude generated to capture some low-hanging performance optimizations
🎯 SMT Performance Optimization Results
I've successfully implemented several key performance optimizations for the Sparse Merkle Trie library. Here's a comprehensive summary:
🚀 Performance Improvements Achieved
Micro-benchmark Results:
Quick summary of what Claude Code did
🔧 Optimizations Implemented
✅ Validation Results
🎯 Key Files Modified
💡 Additional Optimization Opportunities
For future improvements, consider:
The optimizations significantly improve the encoding and hashing hot paths while maintaining full backward compatibility and correctness. The ~40-50% performance gains in core
operations will have substantial impact on real-world SMT performance, especially in high-throughput scenarios.
