Pants

A new `good first issue` that could speed up Pants a decent bit &amp; should be approachable. <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/14719>

&gt; Optimize Pants's data structures by not sorting as much (FrozenOrderedSet and FrozenDict)

Primary rule of optimization - profile first

It may be the case that sorting has noticeable performance impact, or it may not

True, but also the sorting makes our code more complex to read. There seems to be no benefit to it. Even if the impact isn't very profound, it is wasted computation + wasted code complexity

Sure, and it may be worth doing for those reasons alone, but the priority might be lower than if it were a known performance win
