That's really impressive, especially the sys time reduction :) Well done.

Code looks solid too. I haven't read the xarray patch series too
closely yet, but this patch series is clearly already an improvement.
It is simple, with existing precedent (from swap cache), and
experiments show that it works quite well to improve zswap's
performance.

If the xarray patch proves to be even better, we can always combine it
with this approach (a per-range xarray?), or replace it with the
xarray. But for now:
