Yeah, to be clear, I wasn’t saying it’s definitely the wrong choice for all library code, or anything so strong. More like, it’s worth considering the case your users will be using, since for several of them it is likely not the right choice.
For dense matrix multiplication it’s probably worth it, but the article is phrased much more broadly in its conclusions, and does not mention the fact that this issue exists (possibly because the author isn’t aware of it — which I don’t fault them for).
To be clear, a 2ms stall when calling certain functions has the potential to be devastating for anything that wants to run at speeds approximating realtime.
