Irina Nazarova did a talk at the latest Ruby SF meetup on this optimization: https://youtu.be/IMAABWxnbUM?si=7txdbArWEGYeKzAL

Also, Jack Sharkey, CTO and co-founder of Whop, is actually presenting at Rails World today: https://rubyonrails.org/world/2025/speakers/jack-sharkey. I look forward to seeing the talk recording
