perf: inline warm-cache check in CachedSource.source()

claude · claude · commit 31914861947d · 2026-04-22T17:20:39.000Z
`source()` delegated the hot "cache already filled" read to `_getCachedSource()`, which means every warm call pays for a prototype method lookup and a function-call stack frame. Under V8's TurboFan the call gets inlined, but the interpreter (and CodSpeed's simulation mode, which runs without optimization) actually pays the overhead. Inlining the `this._cachedSource !== undefined` short-circuit brings warm `source()` from ~58 ns/op down to ~41 ns/op under --no-opt while keeping the buffer-derived path behind the shared helper. https://claude.ai/code/session_01LZbaaPrnDTu6y7s4nK4cJz
