SolidJobs + SolidTrace + Warm IPC perform worker 2000 alloc/s vs 200 alloc/s sidekiq

We are told that to scale Ruby background workloads across multiple CPU cores, we have two choices: process forking (e.g., Pitchfork) which incurs massive Copy-on-Write memory overhead and risk of OOM kills under load, or database-backed queues (e.g., Solid Queue) which introduce heavy synchronous disk I/O and row-locking bottlenecks [1.8, 1.10]. To break this cycle, I built SolidJobs (v0.5.0): an open-source, Ractor-local Redis task runtime engineered from scratch around a strict shared-noth...
