Description

Description

With the new text attachments API , we're introducing a potential performance pitfall in the attachment storage object.

Right now, it stores attachments in an array ordered by range start location. This is fine for querying, as we can do a simple binary search to find attachments. However insertion and removal could be improved as they're both O(N) due to array modification performance.
