Research direction

Start by locating AsyncFileCached and its "pages" map, then read how that map is accessed and how performance tests are organized in the repository. Compare the existing map with parallel_flat_hash_map from the linked project and define a repeatable benchmark; done means the performance impact is measured and documented clearly.
