The state root computation here is one of the major hotspots in block processing - in the cases the code only needs to know if it's empty or not, it can be done a lot faster. Adding a separate function for this looks fragile and should probably be revisited. |

The file accounts_cache.nim has been relocated
Background
The new LedgerRef module unifies different implementations of the legacy accounts_cache. It is intended to be used as new base method for all of the AccountsCache implementations. The legacy accounts_cache version has been removed.
This was needed to accomodate for different CoreDb API paradigms. While the overloaded legacy AccountsCache implementation is just a closure based wrapper around the accounts_cache module, the overloaded AccountsLedgerRef is a closure based wrapper around the accounts_ledger module with the new CoreDb API returning Result[] values and saparating the meaning of trie root hash and trie root reference.
This allows to use the legacy hexary database (with the new CoreDb API) as well as the Aristo database (only supported on new API.)
