Ought to be faster than our naive array-based approach.
Especially for the glyph cache, which has a solid amount of elements,
and is mostly cache hits.
(There are few things worse for performance in Lua than
table.remove @ !tail and table.insert @ !tail, which this was full of :/).
DocCache: New module that's now an actual Cache instance instead of a
weird hack. Replaces "Cache" (the instance) as used across Document &
co.
Only Cache instance with on-disk persistence.
ImageCache: Update to new Cache.
GlyphCache: Update to new Cache.
Also, actually free glyph bbs on eviction.
* Minor updates to the min & max cache sizes (16 & 64MB). Mostly to satisfy my power-of-two OCD.
* Purge broken on-disk cache files
* Optimize free RAM computations
* Start dropping LRU items when running low on memory before pre-rendring (hinting) pages in non-reflowable documents.
* Make serialize dump the most recently *displayed* page, as the actual MRU item is the most recently *hinted* page, not the current one.
* Use more accurate item size estimations across the whole codebase.
TileCacheItem:
* Drop lua-serialize in favor of Persist.
KoptInterface:
* Drop lua-serialize in favor of Persist.
* Make KOPTContext caching actually work by ensuring its hash is stable.
* Wireless: Optimize memory usage in StreamMessageQueue (use an array of string ropes, that we only concatenate once). Allowed to relax the throttling, making transfers that much faster.
* Persist: Add a "zstd" codec, that uses the "luajit" codec, but compressed via zstd. Since both of those are very fast, it pretty much trounces everything in terms of speed and size ;).
* Persist: Implemented a "writes_to_file" framework, much like the existing "reads_from_file" one. And use it in the zstd codec to avoid useless temporary string interning.
* Metadata: Switch to the zstd codec.
There have been a couple of these this month, and keeping stuff that should only ever run once piling up in their respective module was getting ugly, especially when it's usually simple stuff (settings, files).
So, move everything to a dedicated module, run by reader.lua on startup, and that will actually only do things once, when necessary.
