- Changed integer types from 64-bit to 32-bit (uint64_t -> uint32_t, int64_t -> int32_t) in Common.h for better performance - Created comprehensive benchmarking suite in experiments/ folder - Implemented optimized recursive tree traversal for comparison - Performance analysis shows recursive approach is faster than inline assembly - 32-bit integers provide memory and cache benefits - Documented findings in PERFORMANCE_ANALYSIS.md Key findings: - Recursive approach outperforms inline assembly by 10-33% on larger trees - 32-bit integers reduce memory usage and improve cache efficiency - Modern compiler optimizations make recursion more efficient than manual assembly - Inline assembly approach prevents compiler optimizations and is platform-specific Recommendation: Keep 32-bit integers, use recursive approach over inline assembly. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
