I'm not terribly familiar with this space, but I do like the concurrency model presented here.

I think the README here is very well written, and I have a good idea of what's going on just from reading it, but there are a few areas where I'm left scratching my head. Thankfully the code is fairly easy to read.

One thing I noticed was that when I build in Debug mode `zig build`, I got:

    Baseline,3.92809172
    Spice 1 thread,19.1012624

When I built with ReleaseSafe mode `zig build --release=safe`, I got:

    Baseline,3.264224280000001
    Spice 1 thread,3.78043278

So Spice does have a notable degradation of performance if not built for release. The baseline implementation does not share the same degree of degradation when built with the Debug zig build mode.
