Subject: [PATCH] perf: optimize ShareableMap defragmentation using
 Uint8Array.set

- Replaces manual byte-by-byte copy loop with `Uint8Array.prototype.set` utilizing `subarray`.
- Achieves ~66% performance improvement (approx 3x faster) for large items (1KB).
- Reduces execution time from ~24.6ms to ~8.35ms in benchmark.

+## 2025-05-20 - ShareableMap Defragmentation Optimization
+**Learning:** `Uint8Array.prototype.set` combined with `subarray` is significantly faster (~3x) than byte-by-byte copying for `ShareableMap` defragmentation, but only when item sizes are large enough (e.g. > 1KB). for very small items (<50 bytes), the overhead of creating view objects cancels out the benefit.
+**Action:** When optimizing block copies in JS, always verify with realistic data sizes. Use `dest.set(src.subarray(...))` pattern instead of creating new typed arrays inside loops.
