See: ziglang/zig#17851
Users were noticing that frame render times got slower over time. I believe (thanks to community for pointing it out) that this is partially the culprit.
This works around this issue by clearing and reinitializing the LRU after a certain number of evictions. When the Zig issue has a better resolution (either rehash() as a workaround or a better hash implementation overall) we can change this.
To be completely honest, I'm not sure if this is actually a Zig issue or if our LRU is just garbage. In any case, I'd like to merge this as a mitigation and continue to hunt down improvements.
