prewarm.rs

//! Caching and prewarming related functionality.
//!
//! Prewarming executes transactions in parallel before the actual block execution
//! to populate the execution cache with state that will likely be accessed during
//! block processing.
//!
//! ## How Prewarming Works
//!
//! 1. Incoming transactions are split into two streams: one for prewarming (executed in parallel)
//!    and one for actual execution (executed sequentially)
//! 2. Prewarming tasks execute transactions in parallel using shared caches
//! 3. When actual block execution happens, it benefits from the warmed cache
