 ## 2024-11-20 - Softmax math.exp 8x unrolling with local var cache
 Learning: Unrolling the `Math.exp` accumulation loop to 8x and caching the multiplication `(tokenLogits[i] - maxLogit) * invTemp` into local variables before passing to `Math.exp` yields a measurable performance improvement (~4%) over the previous 4x unrolled implementation in the V8 engine, by reducing property access and allowing better instruction-level parallelism.
 Action: Utilize 8x loop unrolling paired with local variable caching for tight floating-point accumulation loops over TypedArrays.
+## 2025-04-25 - Object.values Array Allocation Hot Loop
+Learning: Accessing properties of an ONNX tensor output object using `Object.values(out)` in a hot loop (like per-token decoding) causes severe garbage collection pressure and significant overhead compared to a `for...in` loop with a pre-allocated array (speedup: ~2.3x).
+Action: Prefer `for...in` and a class-level recycled array over `Object.values()` when iterating small but frequently-generated objects (like session outputs) in hot paths.
