There is no specific location. That thread is an old drama unfolded when
intervals were first implemented by a third-party company (they were called
intervals that time). AFAIU, the fact that intervals are stored in a
list and suffer from O(N) complexity originates from that time. Just
history, as I pointed in the comment.

FYI, a more optimal overlay data structure implementation has been
attempted in feature/noverlay branch (for example, see
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=feature/noverlay&id=8d7bdfa3fca076b34aaf86548d3243bee11872ad).
But there is no activity on that branch for years.

Best,
Ihor
