+## Defect
+
+`ssl_hook_Access_classic` checks whether cipher suite renegotiation is required when
+a per-directory `SSLCipherSuite` differs from the negotiated connection cipher list.
+It does this with two O(N×M) symmetric comparison loops:
+
+```c
+// Outer: N ciphers in new cipher_list
+for (n = 0; !renegotiate && (n < sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(cipher_list)); n++) {
+    const SSL_CIPHER *value = sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(cipher_list, n);
+    // Inner: sk_SSL_CIPHER_find scans cipher_list_old linearly — O(M)
+    if (sk_SSL_CIPHER_find(cipher_list_old, value) < 0) {
+        renegotiate = TRUE;
+    }
+}
+// Symmetric reverse loop: O(M) outer × O(N) inner
+for (n = 0; !renegotiate && (n < sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(cipher_list_old)); n++) {
+    const SSL_CIPHER *value = sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(cipher_list_old, n);
+    if (sk_SSL_CIPHER_find(cipher_list, value) < 0) {
+        renegotiate = TRUE;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`sk_SSL_CIPHER_find` calls `OPENSSL_sk_find` which performs a **linear scan** — cipher
+stacks are not sorted by ID, so the `OPENSSL_SK_FIND_SORTED` fast path does not apply.
+
+With N=M=50 ciphers: **2,500 comparisons per request** vs O(N+M)=100.
+
+## Fix
+
+Build a `uint32_t` hash set (keyed on `SSL_CIPHER_get_id()`) from `cipher_list_old`
+before the first loop. Both comparisons become O(1) hash lookups.
+
+```c
+/* Build ID set from cipher_list_old — O(M) */
+apr_uint32_t old_ids[sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(cipher_list_old)];
+int old_count = sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(cipher_list_old);
+for (int i = 0; i < old_count; i++) {
+    old_ids[i] = SSL_CIPHER_get_id(sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(cipher_list_old, i));
+}
+/* Use apr_hash_t keyed on cipher ID for O(1) lookup */
+apr_hash_t *old_set = apr_hash_make(r->pool);
+for (int i = 0; i < old_count; i++) {
+    apr_hash_set(old_set, &old_ids[i], sizeof(old_ids[i]), (void*)1);
+}
+/* New→old check: O(N) */
+for (n = 0; !renegotiate && (n < sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(cipher_list)); n++) {
+    const SSL_CIPHER *c = sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(cipher_list, n);
+    apr_uint32_t id = SSL_CIPHER_get_id(c);
+    if (!apr_hash_get(old_set, &id, sizeof(id)))
+        renegotiate = TRUE;
+}
+/* Old→new check using new_set: O(M) */
+/* (symmetric — build new_set from cipher_list, check old entries) */
+```
+
+Total: O(N + M) — ~50× improvement at N=M=50.

+# httpd-0004: find_route_worker redirect chain O(N²) → O(N) with route hash map

+
+## Defect
+
+`find_route_worker` locates a backend worker by route name for sticky-session routing.
+When a worker is down but has a `redirect` configured, it recursively calls itself to
+find the redirect target — scanning all N workers at each recursion level:
+
+```c
+// Per request: scan all N workers for route match
+for (i = 0; i < balancer->workers->nelts; i++, workers++) {
+    if (strcmp(worker->s->route, route) == 0) {
+        if (!PROXY_WORKER_IS_USABLE(worker)) {
+            if (worker->s->redirect) {
+                // Recursive: re-scans all N workers for redirect route
+                rworker = find_route_worker(balancer, worker->s->redirect,
+                                            r, recursion + 1);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Recursion depth is bounded at `balancer->workers->nelts` (N), but each level
+re-scans all N workers → **O(N²) worst case** during worker failover.
+
+At N=100 workers with a full redirect chain: 10,000 worker scans per request vs O(N)=100.
+
+## Fix
+
+Build a `route → worker*` hash table at balancer configuration time (workers are
+added/removed infrequently, not per-request). Route lookup becomes O(1):
+
+```c
+/* At balancer init: apr_hash_t *route_map built once */
+for (i = 0; i < balancer->workers->nelts; i++) {
+    proxy_worker *w = ...;
+    if (w->s->route[0])
+        apr_hash_set(route_map, w->s->route, APR_HASH_KEY_STRING, w);
+}
+
+/* find_route_worker replacement: O(1) per lookup, O(depth) for chain */
+static proxy_worker *find_route_worker(proxy_balancer *balancer,
+                                        const char *route, request_rec *r,
+                                        int recursion) {
+    proxy_worker *worker = apr_hash_get(balancer->route_map,
+                                        route, APR_HASH_KEY_STRING);
+    if (!worker) return NULL;
+    if (PROXY_WORKER_IS_USABLE(worker)) return worker;
+    if (worker->s->redirect && recursion < balancer->workers->nelts)
+        return find_route_worker(balancer, worker->s->redirect, r, recursion+1);
+    return NULL;
+}
+```
