Well I’ve provided 1 benchmark to your 0. I’d say I’m ahead.

My code benchmark is actually far more pre-fetch friendly than a LinkedList because it can prefetch more than one “node” at a time. In a LinkedList you can’t prefetch N+1 and N+2 at the same time because N+2 is dependent on the result of N+1.

I’m always open to learning new things. Modern compiler magic is deep and dark. If sometimes a compiler magically makes it fast and sometimes slow that’d be quite interesting! If you have any concrete examples I’d love to read them.
