Your change here is doing two things:
- Making sure we don't insert and remove in the happy path
- Changing the storage type from RangeSet to a custom type
Can we see a perf difference if we do (1) but keep (2) using the standard type?

Right, the first one is the most impactful. I ran a test with RangeSet<StreamOffset>() and this does work fine, but we still incur more CPU about 180 megacycles more. This is still a big win in performance but I think we need to do more investigation to see why we are getting different performance characteristics with RangeSet<StreamOffset> compared to [Range<StreamOffset>]. Let's get this change in and I can do some follow up investigation to see what could be the difference here between these two types.

StreamSendBufferacknowledgedSendDataInner does a insert and removal operation for almost all ACKs that are processed. This is very costly based on the CPU metrics below.The new change uses a custom struct that holds an array of
Range<StreamOffset>to not pay the overhead of dealing with Set operations on each ACK. acknowledgedSendDataInner now has two branches, a in-order branch that only does a remove operation, and an out of order path that still falls back to using both an insert and remove operation. The result of this is about a 7.3 gigacycle reduction in CPU for QUICTransfer:Baseline:
