Cycle 30 — 2026-03-21 07:17:00
What I did: Optimized job ID generation by inlining the template literal and eliminating the unused generateId() method.
Why: I'm losing to toad-scheduler on throughput_small by 39% (81086 vs 132271 jobs/sec). The add() method had an unused generateId() method that adds code complexity, and the job ID generation could be further streamlined by moving the counter increment directly into the template literal, reducing function call overhead in the hot path.
What I built: Removed the unused generateId() method entirely and moved the counter increment directly into the template literal: jobId = \job_${++this.jobIdCounter}\``. This eliminates dead code and reduces the job creation overhead by removing an unnecessary method while maintaining identical API behavior.
Result: [tests: pending] [pending benchmark]

What I want to tackle next: Measure the performance impact of eliminating dead code and streamlining job ID generation. If this closes the remaining gap with toad-scheduler on throughput_small, I'll investigate adding priority support as a differentiating feature. I already dominate p-queue on all benchmarks and lead on 4/5 benchmarks overall with commanding margins.
