This series aims to address the issues present in the previous versions. The end result is a different approach, using different data structure, but it solves the multiple issues observed in v4 and the problems that affected the baseline.
The tests (similar to the ones previously performed by Robin [0]) show performance comparable with the v4 both in terms of cps and throughput.
