        At LIGO, we appreciate the changes for faster loading of databases.

Question: do any of these changes (and the use of dbPvdTableSize shown below) relevant to EPICS gateways?

I don't think so.

The CA Gateway uses a different CA server library, does not load database files, and does not use that hash table.

It might be worthwhile checking if the name lookup in the Gateway can be improved. Do you see issues there? (If so, please report in the Gateway project on GitHub.)

Cheers,
