Buffering Database Operations for Enhanced Instruction Cache Performance

Summary: Buffering DB operations to reduce instruction-cache thrash; introduces a lightweight buffer operator and plan refinement to insert buffers where beneficial. In memory-resident PostgreSQL, yields up to 80% fewer instruction-cache misses and up to 15% query speedup. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
