@nhubbard Thank you for this contribution. Do you happen to have any comparative numbers concerning the performance of this solution with and without your changes?

@Theaninova @fvbakel, do you have any feedback on the changes this PR proposes? (@Theaninova: I'm tagging you because it seems your GitHub account committed the original solution, and wulkanat and bluefireoly don't seem to have a GitHub account at the moment.)

[Theaninova]

Hi, @wulkanat is actually me haha, I can't say too much other than seems good to me so far, it's been a hot minute since I touched Kotlin code.

[rbergen]

Well, that's a gross deviation from the norm that @ handles on GitHub refer to GitHub account names, but I'll learn to live with that. :)

In any case, thanks for your feedback! I'll give the others some time to respond as well and wait for some performance numbers before I move forward with this PR.

[fvbakel]

Hi,

I have no time to look into this. I am also not really into Kotlin code anymore, so I am fine with whatever is the consensus is. Nice to see that there are still improvements😀

Kind regards,

Frank

Thanks for your feedback, Frank. That's clear.

[nhubbard]

I can definitely provide before and after performance numbers later, maybe tomorrow because I'm completely booked for the rest of the day.

I don't anticipate that much of an improvement all around, since most of my work was focused on adding Kotlin/Native coroutines support, but I might be pleasantly surprised!

[rbergen]

Tomorrow is fine. It's mainly to make sure we don't unknowingly bring performance down in the process of updating.

Here's the benchmarks! All benchmarks were run 5 times in sequence on my 2021 MacBook Pro 16", with M1 Pro 10/16/16, 32 GB of 6400 MHz LPDDR5, and macOS Ventura 13.2.1.
