March 2026 performance-focused sprint for jeejeelee/vllm. Delivered a targeted performance enhancement in Mamba Copy Buffers by refactoring MambaCopyBuffers to call get_mamba_groups() only once during creation. This reduced redundant calls, lowered CPU overhead in buffer setup, and improved buffer creation throughput, helping the system scale better under higher request loads. This aligns with business goals of faster request handling and higher throughput in production environments.
