## Technical Summary & Selection Guide
| **Peak Throughput** | DualCacheFF | 47M~90M ops/s, 7x to 88x faster |
| **Lowest Latency (P99)** | DualCacheFF | 291ns vs TinyUFO 3375ns vs Moka 10250ns |
| **Lowest Net Footprint (CAPEX)** | TinyUFO | 640KB net footprint, 327 bytes/item |
| **Highest Hit Rate (Zipf)** | Moka | 87.73% (under extreme CAPEX constraint) |
| **Best Memory Efficiency** | DualCacheFF | 50.8 bytes/item (after 1M items) |
### Use Case Recommendations
1. **High-Throughput, Low-Latency Applications (e.g., ad serving, recommendation ranking)**
→ **DualCacheFF**: 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher throughput, P99 latency <300ns.
2. **Strictly Memory-Constrained Environments (e.g., embedded devices, edge nodes)**
→ **TinyUFO**: Smallest footprint under CAPEX constraints, combined with decent hit rates and moderate latency.
3. **Maximizing Hit Rates When Throughput Is Not a Constraint**
→ **Moka**: Slightly higher hit rates under Zipf and Mixed patterns, but has high tail latency (P99.9 at 234μs).
4. **Scenarios to Avoid**
- **Moka** is not suitable for high-concurrency, low-latency applications (throughput <10M ops/s, significant P99 jitter).
- **TinyUFO** presents tail-latency spike risks (up to 13.7ms), making it unsuitable for hard real-time systems.
> **Overall Recommendation**: Unless memory is extremely constrained, **DualCacheFF** is the highest-performing general choice. For strict memory limits, **TinyUFO** is preferred at the cost of some throughput.

## v0.2.0 Refactoring Summary
1. **Fully Custom Core**: Successfully removed `crossbeam` dependencies and implemented `no_std` support, making the code highly suitable for embedded/RTOS systems.
2. **Performance Peak**: Throughput increased by 40% on average, with P99.9 latencies strictly controlled below 1μs.
3. **Resolved Visibility Lag**: The `daemon_tick` forced flush mechanism guarantees eventual consistency under high concurrency, completely eliminating split-brain effects.
