This is what I thought as well, and I'm in the field. It's legit to try to fit everything in cache.

However, you can still do something about making this safe. For instance the program could do some sort of version check on startup and panic if things weren't correct.

There's a bunch of stuff that needs to be done before the program reaches its low latency steady state, where speed doesn't matter. Might as well add checks there to make sure things are correct.
