All this traffic generates latency, CPU load, disk load, and increases costs. In such scenarios, cache comes in: an ultra-fast memory (RAM) layer that stores recent results to avoid repeated database queries. Instead of reading from disk (which can take tens or hundreds of milliseconds), the cache responds in microseconds. In practice, using cache allows the application to do much more "cheap" work in memory and very few e... --- ### 13.

The same benchmark could randomly run 20× slower, and it turned out a LuaJIT NYI (Not Yet Implemented) could silently blacklist an unrelated hot loop. I wrote up the investigation here. It goes from the benchmark mystery through LuaJIT's trace recorder internals, and ends with a PR to get unpack off LuaJIT's NYI list.

Entities can only ever be in exactly one grid tile. This makes the rule evaluation really simple and understandable. However, it doesn't really feel nice to play (which you know if you've ever played any of the PuzzleScript games). At the same time, the more content is in the game, the more complex and arbitrary the game rules become. I therefore introduced the Movement Transaction System into the code base to deal with this.
