My reported numbers are from debug configuration.

not a production configuration, I was requesting the numbers for a
production configuration.
I'm working on it. But please expect some delay in my response for this. As I mentioned earlier, I need to work with few teams to get these numbers.


show a significant boot time reduction from the patch then there is
less justification for adding complexity to the existing code.  I
prefer to use simpler data structures and algorithms __if__ extra
complexity does not provide any advantage.  The balance between
complexity and benefits is a core software engineering issue.

Ok

Avg Kernel boot time comparison in production set up:

[0] Base: 4519ms
[1] 4115ms (~400ms improvement)
[2] 4115ms (~400ms improvement)
[3] 4177ms (~340ms improvement)

Full data:
[1] 1024 sized pre-populated cache
ITR-1	ITR-2	ITR-3	ITR-4	Avg
4115	4123	4124	4107	4115

[2] Dynamic sized cache allocation/free
ITR-1	ITR-2	ITR-3	ITR-4	Avg
4122	4131	4106	4118	4115

[3] Fixed 64 sized cache
ITR-1	ITR-2	ITR-3	ITR-4	Avg
4153	4186	4198	4181	4177


[1] is my experimental patch and dirty enough to not get merged anywhere. So, I will not push it.
