// Invariant: Hit rate > 95% → 3-4 instructions, Miss → refill from backend
// Design: "Simple Front + Smart Back" - Front is dumb & fast, Back is smart

// ========== Performance Notes ==========
//
// Expected metrics (based on System tcache & HAKX +171% results):
// - Fast path hit rate: 95%+ (workload dependent)
// - Fast path latency: 3-4 instructions (1-2 cycles on modern CPUs)
// - Miss penalty: ~20-50 instructions (refill from SuperSlab)
// - Throughput improvement: +10-25% vs current multi-layer design
//
// Key optimizations:
// 1. `__builtin_expect` for branch prediction (hot path first)
// 2. `static inline` for zero-cost abstraction
// 3. TLS variables (no atomic ops, no locks)
// 4. Minimal work in fast path (defer stats/accounting to backend)
//
// Comparison with current design:
// - Current: 20+ instructions (Magazine → SuperSlab → ACE → ...)
// - New: 3-4 instructions (TLS freelist pop only)
// - Reduction: -80% instructions in hot path
//
// Inspired by:
// - System tcache (glibc malloc) - 3-4 instruction fast path
// - HAKX Mid-Large (+171%) - "Simple Front + Smart Back"
// - Box Theory - Clear boundaries, minimal coupling
