This was coming up as a memory allocation hotspot in our production profiles, specifically the
-operation when calculatinggroup_allowed. Luckily there is a very easy optimization here: simply useintersect?! This performs the same check with zero additional memory allocation.I ran some benchmarks against the
allowed?method. I was expecting this optimization to get diluted in the larger method body, but the results look good.allowed?now allocates no additional memoryNot only that, it is 1.77x faster!
I would expect the improvement to be more profound in a production scenario because the call sites to the
allowed?method both happen in a loop; one iterating overmessages, another oversubscriptions.
