If that’s the case then 890ns is quite terrible. If for some reason you want to do this in software then the latency should be somewhere below 100ns.




That number is for a non-trivial software path (parsing, state updates, decision logic), not a minimal hot loop. Sub-100 ns in pure software usually means extremely constrained logic or offloading parts elsewhere. I agree there’s room to improve, and I’m working on reducing structural overheads, but this wasn’t meant to represent the absolute lower bound of what’s possible.
