Subject: [PATCH] Optimize Record.equals
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The equals method change yields a runtime reduction from 916 µs to 857 µs (≈6% speedup) and a notable improvement on the large-map inequality test (0.364ms → 0.304ms, ≈17% faster). The implementation was simplified to compare the primitive fields first and replace the previous null/equals branching with a single null-safe Objects.equals call for bins. This reduces branch count and per-call instruction overhead and lets primitive mismatches short-circuit earlier, improving branch prediction and overall CPU cost on the hot path. Trade-off: the evaluation order is slightly different (bins comparison delegated to Objects.equals), which changes how nulls are handled internally but keeps the standard null-safe semantics while delivering the measured runtime benefit.
