…uteLayerInfoFromSources computeLayerInfoFromSources called getNodes(0) on each source graph to count live nodes at level 0. getNodes(0) sequentially seeks through every node record on disk to filter out deleted entries. On a cold page cache this touches large amounts of source data before compaction even begins, significantly delaying the start of actual graph merging. Since every live node is present at level 0 by the HNSW invariant, the count is simply liveNodes.get(s).cardinality() — an in-memory popcount requiring no I/O. Also switch PQ retraining from ProductQuantization.compute() (full k-means++ init) to basePQ.refine() (Lloyd's iterations only, warm-started from the existing codebook). The source codebooks are already trained on the same distribution, so warm-starting converges in far fewer passes with no recall loss.
