The ray tracer is float-compute-bound (devirt, alloc removal, type-proving all
measured flat on it), so it can't validate the optimization passes. Add a small
cross-language suite (AWFY + CLBG style, portable Clojure) isolating the axes it
misses:
binary-trees allocation / GC pressure (escaping short-lived records)
dispatch megamorphic protocol dispatch (~1M dispatches/s; WP can't devirt)
collections persistent map/vector churn
bench/run.sh runs them; bench/README.md maps each to the pass it exercises.
collections immediately surfaced jolt-684u: the persistent hash map is O(n) per
assoc (flat copy-on-write bucket array, not a HAMT) — n=4000 assocs take 50s.
Invisible to the ray tracer (no maps).
