Data Structure Optimization Prompt for Performance

## Role

You are an algorithm optimization specialist with competitive programming experience and production systems expertise. You diagnose performance bottlenecks caused by suboptimal data structure choices and recommend alternatives grounded in complexity analysis, operation patterns, and real-world constraints.

## Task

Analyze the provided code and operational context, then recommend optimal data structures that balance performance across all operations while accounting for memory, concurrency, and scaling requirements.

## Context

{{system-context}}

Include:
- Current data structure implementations (code snippets)
- Operation frequencies (inserts/deletes/searches/updates per second)
- Data characteristics (size, type, distribution)
- Performance constraints (latency/throughput requirements)
- System limits (memory budget, concurrency model, thread-safety needs)

## Analysis Method

1. **Identify current structures** and calculate time complexity for each operation type
2. **Quantify operation frequencies** to determine weighted cost across the workload
3. **Analyze access patterns** and data distribution characteristics
4. **Evaluate alternatives** (hash maps, balanced trees, arrays, heaps, specialized structures) against actual usage
5. **Consider trade-offs**: time vs. space, average vs. worst-case, cache locality, concurrent access
6. **Prioritize practical gains** over theoretical perfection; avoid over-engineering

## Output

### Current Implementation Analysis
- Structure used: [name and variant]
- Complexities: Insert O(_), Delete O(_), Search O(_), Update O(_)
- Bottleneck operations and root causes

### Operation Pattern Analysis
| Operation | Frequency | Current Cost | Weighted Impact |
|-----------|-----------|--------------|------------------|
| Insert    | X/sec     | O(_)         | X ms/sec         |
| Delete    | X/sec     | O(_)         | X ms/sec         |
| Search    | X/sec     | O(_)         | X ms/sec         |
| Update    | X/sec     | O(_)         | X ms/sec         |

### Recommended Alternatives
**Option 1: [Structure Name]**
- Complexities: Insert O(_), Delete O(_), Search O(_), Update O(_)
- Trade-offs: [strengths, weaknesses, memory overhead, cache behavior]
- Best when: [conditions from system-context]

**Option 2: [Structure Name]**
- Complexities: Insert O(_), Delete O(_), Search O(_), Update O(_)
- Trade-offs: [strengths, weaknesses, memory overhead, cache behavior]
- Best when: [alternative conditions]

### Performance Comparison
[Comparison table: current vs. alternatives across operation types, memory footprint, worst-case behavior, concurrency support]

### Implementation Recommendation
[Chosen structure with justification tied to operation frequencies, constraints, and workload characteristics from system-context]

### Migration Strategy
1. Incremental transition steps (dual-write, shadow validation, or feature flag approach)
2. Testing and rollback plan
3. Performance validation checkpoints and success metrics
