From 6dc0fe69cf8ba6aedf2185f0958c8224988f8d69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zzstoatzz Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:37:24 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] perf: slim Cid struct for smaller Value union and zero-cost CID decode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Cid now stores only raw bytes (16B) instead of parsed fields (56B). Value union shrinks from 64B to 24B, MapEntry from 80B to 40B. CID decode is zero-cost (byte slice reference), map keys are read inline without full decodeAt dispatch. Breaking: Cid field access is now via methods — cid.version().?
