perf: reduce per-tx allocations with O(1) lookups and capacity hints

[7layermagik]

Summary

Reduces per-transaction memory allocations by eliminating redundant method calls and replacing O(n) slice iterations with O(1) map lookups.

Key optimizations:

• Cache GetProgramIDs() once per transaction (~0.82 GB savings estimated)
• Replace slices.Contains() with precomputed map lookups in hot paths
• Add capacity hints to frequently-allocated maps to reduce rehashing
• Centralize NewReservedAcctsSet to avoid drift between packages

Changes

1. GetProgramIDs Caching

Problem: GetProgramIDs() was being called inside isWritable() — once per account per transaction. For a typical tx with 10 accounts, this meant 10 redundant slice allocations.

Solution: Build programIDSet map once per transaction, pass to isWritable():

// Before: O(n) allocation per account
func isWritable(tx *solana.Transaction, am *solana.AccountMeta, ...) bool {
    programIds, _ := tx.GetProgramIDs()  // Called N times per tx!
    if slices.Contains(programIds, am.PublicKey) { ... }
}

// After: O(1) lookup, map built once per tx
func isWritable(am *solana.AccountMeta, ..., programIDSet map[solana.PublicKey]struct{}) bool {
    if _, isProgramID := programIDSet[am.PublicKey]; isProgramID { ... }
}

2. slices.Contains → Map Lookups

Location	Before	After
isWritable() reserved accounts	O(n) slice search	O(1) map lookup
isWritable() program IDs	O(n) slice search	O(1) map lookup
recordStakeAndVoteAccounts() writable check	O(n*m) nested loop	O(1) map lookup
sealevel.IsWritable()	O(n) slice search	O(1) map lookup

3. Capacity Hints

Added capacity hints to hot-path maps to reduce GC pressure:

File	Map	Capacity
accounts.go	instructionAcctPubkeys	len(tx.Message.AccountKeys)
accounts.go	validatedLoaders	4 (usually ≤4 loaders)
transaction.go	ModifiedVoteStates	8
topsort_planner.go	pkToAcct	len(b.TxMetas)*4
block.go	alreadyAdded	len(slotCtx.WritableAccts)

4. Code Consolidation

Exported NewReservedAcctsSet from pkg/sealevel so both transaction.go and sealevel.go use the same set, preventing drift.

Files Changed

• pkg/replay/transaction.go — Main isWritable changes, programIDSet, writablePubkeySet
• pkg/sealevel/sealevel.go — IsWritable signature, exported NewReservedAcctsSet
• pkg/rent/rent.go — Updated to use programIDSet
• pkg/replay/accounts.go — Capacity hints
• pkg/replay/topsort_planner.go — Capacity hint
• pkg/replay/block.go — Capacity hint

Test Plan

• go build ./... passes
• go test ./pkg/replay/... ./pkg/sealevel/... ./pkg/rent/... passes
• Run mithril on mainnet — bank hashes match (no behavioral change)
• Monitor alloc MB/s in 100-slot summary — should decrease

Expected Impact

Based on pprof analysis:

• ~0.82 GB reduction from GetProgramIDs caching
• ~0.34 GB reduction from AccountMetaList reuse (via AcctMetas)
• Improved CPU from O(1) lookups replacing O(n) iterations
