From 598b0eda5e88d46be15286d511b03ff3540bb89b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AmitMY Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:37:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: skip grapheme regex for ASCII in utf8_clusters utf8_clusters splits every word with regex.findall(r'\X', ...) to find grapheme clusters. ASCII text has no multi-codepoint graphemes (no combining marks), so for ASCII strings list(s) is identical and skips the regex. Non-ASCII still uses \X, so output is unchanged. ~1-3% faster on text-heavy training; memory unchanged. 137 tests pass.
