//! What a warm page cache is worth to search, and how big it has to be.
//!
//! The search worker holds one connection across requests (see
//! [`quicksearch_core::search`]) precisely so that a typing session runs
//! against a cache that is already warm. This measures the two things that
//! claim rests on:
//!
//! 1. **Warm beats cold**, by enough to justify holding the connection at all.
//! 2. **8 MiB is enough** — the size [`PRAGMAS_SEARCH`] settles on. The hot set
//! across queries is the `files` b-tree interior nodes and the tips of the
//! FTS5 segments, not the table, so past some point a larger ceiling buys
//! nothing and only raises what an idle process is holding.
//!
//! Queries are run as a *sequence* — `q`, `qu`, `qui`, `quic` — because that is
//! what a search-per-keystroke frontend actually does. The first is the
//! outlier; the second and later ones are the number that matters.
//!
//! The encrypted column is the one to watch. Under SQLCipher a page cache miss
//! costs an AES-CBC decrypt plus an HMAC-SHA512 verify per 4 KiB page rather
//! than a `memcpy`, so if a smaller cache is going to hurt anywhere it is here.
//!
//! Gated by `QSB_SEARCH_PERF` so the harness doesn't pay the seed cost on every
//! `cargo test`. To run it:
//!
//! ```text
//! QSB_SEARCH_PERF=1 cargo test --release -p quicksearch-core \
//! --test search_perf -- --nocapture
//! ```
