Subject: [PATCH] Optimize plasma

The optimized code achieves a **14% speedup** by eliminating repeated `math.floor()` calls within the generator expression.

**Key optimization**: Instead of calling `math.floor(i)` for each floating-point index from `np.linspace()`, the code now:
1. Generates all floating-point indices at once with `np.linspace()`
2. Converts them to integers in a single vectorized operation using `indices.astype(int)`
3. Uses the pre-computed integer indices in a simple generator expression

**Why this is faster**: The original code called `math.floor()` for every element during tuple construction (98.6% of total time), creating significant per-element overhead. NumPy's `astype(int)` performs the same floor operation but vectorized in C, eliminating the Python function call overhead.

**Performance benefits are most pronounced for larger palettes**: Test results show the optimization provides the biggest gains when `n` is large (e.g., 30%+ faster for n=256, 17-25% faster for n=100), while smaller palettes (n<10) see minimal or slightly slower performance due to the overhead of the additional NumPy operations. This makes the optimization particularly valuable for applications requiring large color palettes.
