 ## 2025-03-25 - [Vue Computed Search Optimizations]
 **Learning:** Reactive computed loops that filter over arrays on every keystroke in Vue (like search) can cause unnecessary CPU overhead and garbage collection pressure due to repeatedly calling `.toLowerCase()` and allocating new strings.
 **Action:** Use Nuxt's `useFetch` `transform` option to pre-compute and store these derived strings (e.g., `_searchName`) when the data is initially fetched, so the reactive filter only does simple substring checks.
+## 2024-05-15 - [Direct String Parsing over Regex/Split]
+**Learning:** In Nuxt/Node environments, creating intermediate arrays via `split('=')` or relying on regex for simple key-value config parsing (like `appinfo.spixi`) incurs high memory allocation and garbage collection overhead. Using `.indexOf('=')` and `.substring()` is consistently ~2.5x faster.
+**Action:** When parsing simple line-based `.ini` or `.spixi` configuration files in this repository, always prefer direct string indexing (`indexOf`/`substring`) to avoid unnecessary array allocations.
+
+## 2024-05-15 - [Direct Map Iteration vs Array Conversion]
+**Learning:** Converting a `Map` to an array using `Array.from(map.entries()).find(...)` just to find a single entry creates an unnecessary `O(N)` array in memory. A direct `for...of` loop over `map.entries()` avoids this allocation entirely and is significantly faster in the Nuxt environment.
+**Action:** For simple searches within a `Map`, especially within reactive contexts or file processing loops (like in the packer/builder), use a `for...of` loop rather than array conversion methods.
