⚡️ Speed up function grey by 11%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 11% (0.11x) speedup for grey in src/bokeh/palettes.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.53 milliseconds → 1.38 milliseconds (best of 71 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code replaces the expensive math.floor() calls in a generator expression with a single batch conversion using NumPy's astype(int).

Key optimizations:

1. Eliminated repeated math.floor() calls: The original code called math.floor(i) for each element in the generator, which consumed 98.7% of execution time. The optimized version precomputes all indices at once using np.linspace().astype(int).

2. Reduced function call overhead: Instead of calling math.floor() in a tight loop for each palette element, the optimization uses NumPy's vectorized integer conversion which is significantly faster.

3. Split computation into explicit steps: The optimization separates index computation from palette lookup, making the bottleneck more apparent and allowing NumPy to handle the heavy lifting.

Performance characteristics:

• Larger palettes see bigger gains: Test cases with n=256 show 23-28% speedup, while smaller palettes (n=2-10) show modest 5-10% slowdowns due to NumPy overhead
• Sweet spot around n=100+: The optimization shines when the cost of NumPy setup is amortized over many elements
• Maintains identical output: All edge cases and error handling remain unchanged

The 10% overall speedup comes from the optimization being most effective on larger palette requests, which tend to dominate the runtime profile in real-world usage scenarios.
