What does it do?
Tracks
can potentially be unsorted, so we don't want to perform abinary_search_by_key()
on it. Instead, we do an linear search.The performance impact depends on the number of tracks. Assuming there aren't a lot of tracks, I suspect that
find()
performs as well as or better thanbinary_search
anyway.
