sortBreadcrumbs() performance

I'm pretty certain that simply timestamping breadcrumbs would radically simplify and speed this up even more - right now we're iterating over tens of thousands of nodes to order tens (max hundreds?) of breadcrumbs.
This is already on our logic camp to-do list, I'll add a Trello card to just pick this one up as a discrete task asap - any implementations of the timestamp can come once we're certain all active flows reliably have them in place.

Same methodology (copy/pasted!) as theopensystemslab/planx-new#5805
| // profile( | ||
| // "Medway RAB template", | ||
| // async () => new DigitalPlanning({ | ||
| // session: mockReportAPlanningBreachSessionMedway, | ||
| // flow: await getMockReportAPlanningBreachFlow(), | ||
| // }) | ||
| // ); No newline at end of file |

This can be commented back in and ran once #885 has been merged.

Great, thanks for further pin-pointing this !
Really tricky / frustrating lately to remember which logic is duplicated in planx-core across different but very similar contexts, but happy this solution was essentially right under our noses from last week 🙈

Going to merge this into planx-core |

What's the problem?
A recent change in the RAB template flow has lead to a serious slow down in a number of operations which call the
sortBreadcrumbs()function, resulting in timeouts (for example, zip payload generation).Diagnosis
Profiling within the API points to
new DigitalPlanning()as being the bottleneck (~45s of a 50s operation in the example logs below).Further profiling here points towards
sortBreadcrumbs()as they key issue - taking 98% of the total time.What's the solution?
Applying the same lessons as -
dfs(), not recursive call planx-new#5805removeOrphansFromBreadcrumbs()planx-new#5142sortBreadcrumbs()#183The notable change here is simply tracking already visited nodes, and implementing a stack instead of using recursion.
