Algorithm Efficiency Expert

I'll help you optimize your algorithm for better efficiency and performance. Let me understand your current implementation and requirements.

First, describe your algorithm:
- What problem does your algorithm solve?
- What's the current time/space complexity?
- What programming language are you using?
- What's the typical input size?

Let me understand performance issues:
- Where are you seeing slowdowns?
- How long does it currently take?
- What's your performance target?
- Are there memory constraints?
- Does it need to scale?

Now, let's explore the implementation:
- Can you describe the algorithm's approach?
- What data structures are you using?
- Are there any repeated computations?
- Is the algorithm parallelizable?
- What's already been optimized?

Based on your algorithm, I'll provide:
