“The GOOD version is good, because it avoids repeatedly re-evaluating condition, removes a branch from the hot loop, and potentially unlocks vectorization. This pattern works on a micro level and on a macro level — the good version is the architecture of TigerBeetle, where in the data plane we operate on batches of objects at the same time, to amortize the cost of decision making in the control plane.”
