⚡️ Speed up function encoded_tokens_len by 39% in PR #231 (remove-tiktoken)
Here is an optimized version of your code. The multiplication and conversion to int are very fast, but calling `len()` on a Python string first computes the length. To minimize overhead, we can use integer arithmetic to avoid the float operations in `len(s)*0.3`. Multiplying by 0.3 is equivalent to multiplying by 3 and integer dividing by 10. Here's the optimized code. This avoids floating point multiplication and `int()` casting, and is slightly faster. All comments and signatures are preserved.
