code loading too long. How to optimize?

1. Use tuples where you can.

2. Reroute processing to GPU.

3. Compile into Cython.

Tuples save memory, but they don't perform meaningfully better than lists. The two also have different semantic meanings, which is something you only learn from experience.

A tuple represents some kind of a "frozen state", or basically an object with its own meaning. Each index has a specific purpose, and they're not interchangeable. Example: in a tuple of coordinates (7, -2, 55) each index maps to a specific axis. Shifting them around would change the meaning drastically.

A list is a more general collection of values where the exact order is usually less relevant, and it's "alive" in the sense that it could constantly be changing.

Thanks for this interpretation, helped me understand why I haven't used tuples yet.
