Their speedup from the initial code to the end of the map blogpost is ~5%. In their repo, they have a much better version that presumably there will eventually be blogposts leading up to. That version is approximately twice as fast as their

If you look at part 1 [0], it is pretty clear that std::map is not THE major bottle neck. The whole program is pretty slow. The issues I see are: a lot of string copying instead of string views, splitting strings into vectors rather than sp

My experience micro optimizing things is that even without SIMD, most software can get at least a 5x in performance. With SIMD, you can often get 50x improvements. The reason why people thing "Even if you do, you are only going to get

Over like 10,000 years this rate of change would matter, but since this seems to be related to binding O2 into CO2 and H2O due to burning fossil fuels, increased CO2 over 10,000 years would cause world shattering effects before we continue

In code like `a(b(d),c(e))`, I think it could be relevant. You would want different code based on the size of `b(d)`, `c(e)`, `d`, and `e`. If you must evaluate b before c, that would eliminate some possible arrangements. Specifically, if `
