Summary:
The patch reorders DBIter fields to put 1-byte fields together and let the compiler optimize the memory usage by using less 64-bit allocations for bools and enums.
This might have a negative side effect of putting the variables that are accessed together into different cache lines and hence increasing the cache misses. Not sure what benchmark would verify that thought. I ran simple, single-threaded seekrandom benchmarks but the variance in the results is too much to be conclusive.
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom --use_existing_db=0 --num=1000000 --db=/dev/shm/dbbench
./db_bench --benchmarks=seekrandom[X10] --use_existing_db=1 --db=/dev/shm/dbbench --num=1000000 --duration=60 --seek_nexts=100
