// The order index is on the hot path: every new/cancel/modify/fill does 1-4 point lookups on

// measurably speeds the whole engine on a busy book — a measured ~+18% on the steady-state

P2 Badge Record the benchmark claim in generated results

This newly hand-written source comment introduces a ~+18% performance number, but the committed benchmark artifacts were not regenerated for this source change: results/flamegraph.txt still reports the old flamegraph-benchmark digest, while this edit changes that digest because src/ is in the artifact's provenance inputs. docs/benchmarking.md says performance numbers must be produced by the committed harness and recorded under results/; as-is, reviewers only have stale artifacts for the optimized code, so either commit a metadata-rich generated result for this change or remove the numeric claim from the comment.

// profile workload, trading a modest amount of memory (more empty buckets) for fewer
// collisions. This only changes bucket count, never iteration-for-output: index_ is used solely
// for find/insert/erase/size, while snapshots and resting_orders() iterate the ordered
// bids_/asks_ maps, so determinism is unaffected.
index_.max_load_factor(0.25F);
