That would be interesting to try, but unfortunately, at least on iOS, it’s region-locked by account region, so as someone who goes back and forth between the US and Europe often, despite being in Europe, I’m entirely unable to install it at all without making significant changes to my Apple account.
Nice article. I ran into similar issues when optimizing some code. After looking at a lot of cpu profs I found that llms can be quite powerful, to quickly do micro benchmarks and experiment with potential performance improvements. A lot of dead ends but I found some 10%-20% improvements that way.
Maybe not exactly what you meant but it reminded me about the following: When one of our apple servers failed a decade ago and just vomitted out walls of error logs too fast to read anything,the apple support guy we called took his smartphone and made some photos to read and fix the error.
My best was 5000:1 by updating the outdated SQLite in one of the companies' products.
I found that we were hit by a bug that was fixed 6 years before I discovered it (https://sqlite.org/src/info/6f2222d550f5b0ee7ed). Sqlite's query planner assumed that a field with a not null constraint can never be null, which isn't the case for the right hand table in a left join.
