Calling
available_permits()didn't actually supply an accurate portrayal of capacity, as enough time may have elapsed that a refill is needed. So now a refill is automatically triggered on any call toavailable_permits()oracquire().Additionally, the
governorcrate has a custom implementation of a clock that is faster than std::time. I benchmarked it as follows:With the following results:
Seeing as the benchmark itself used Instant::now, this is probably not scientific, but at these latencies this doesn't really matter.
I went with the default governor clock seeing as an OS thread updating every millisecond is overkill, and the speed of this is not going to contribute to any meaningful bottlenecks enough to optimize this further.
