Does anyone have any instruction limit benchmarks for single message execution? Looping through a triemap filled with ~100k principals with a few arithmetic operations, I’m getting only 20-30k iterations before hitting execution limit exceeded. I tried with a buffer as well and it seems to still be an issue.

Give [GitHub - ZhenyaUsenko/motoko-hash-map: Stable hash maps for Motoko based on "deterministic hash map" algorithm by Tyler Close](https://github.com/ZhenyaUsenko/motoko-hash-map) a try. I’ve been using 6.0, but I think 7 is stable is as well. I’m not sure what is left with 8.0 before it is ready: @ZhenyaUsenko
