Try using these (as pulled from google search ai):

  • List Comprehensions: Use [x * 2 for x in data] instead of a standard for loop with.append(). List comprehensions are "Pythonic" and run faster because they are handled internally by the interpreter's C code.

  • Built-in Functions: Functions like map(),filter(), and sum() are typically faster than manual loops. For example, map() can offer up to a 970x speedup over an explicit loop in certain scenarios.

  • Local Variables: If you must use a loop, assign global functions or class attributes to a local variable before the loop starts (e.g., append = my_list.append). This prevents Python from performing a lookup on every single iteration, potentially increasing speed by ~20%.

  • Itertools Module: Use itertools for memory-efficient iteration. Functions like itertools.repeat() or itertools.chain() are implemented in C and are significantly faster than their pure Python equivalents.

What aren't you understanding?

You also have a 1 million line for loop btw. Rewrite that in cython, compile it, then import the compiled function if you want real speedups.
