I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but this entire blog post seems a little like what I see happens when someone asks an LLM how to optimize their code. There are like half a dozen, or more, different things that were tried: AI is really good at suggesting all sorts of things that might possibly help. But in the end very few of them panned out and a lot of them were only really explained after the fact even though the failure modes did not see that unreasonable to predict to someone who might have experience in this area. Unfortunately I find that this kind of workflow rarely results in nice wins because it’s kind of a “try everything and see what sticks” without truly understanding what the problem space is and what’s reasonable to do.
