Documents the SWITCH fused-LoRA kernel backend (fused base+shrink GEMM plus a Triton in-place expand) against vLLM's three-launch Punica path: 1.2-1.4x faster decode with balanced ranks, up to 5.9x faster with one outsized adapter in the mix, and an explanation of the single-graph idle gap (a dispatch-policy difference, not a kernel one).
