Well, I’m not sure I’d call buying 1TiB of RAM and mlock’ing it all an optimization.

It is not an "optimization" in the sense that it's not engineer's work.

It is in the sense that it gets the speedup job done.

That’s just throwing hardware at a performance problem, not optimization.

Name it however you want, gets the job done (sometimes).
