💡 What: Refactored calculate_tm in src/amplifyp/melting.py to use zip(seq, seq[1:]) and a pre-computed tuple-keyed dictionary _NN_THERMO_DATA_TUPLE instead of string slicing seq[i : i+2] inside the loop.
🎯 Why: String slicing in a tight loop creates unnecessary temporary string objects.
📊 Measured Improvement:

  • Synthetic benchmark of the loop itself showed ~35% improvement.
  • Full calculate_tm benchmark on a 10k bp sequence showed ~8.5% improvement (4.64s vs 5.07s for 1000 iterations).

- Added `_NN_THERMO_DATA_TUPLE` to map character tuples to thermodynamic values.
- Replaced `range(n-1)` loop with `zip(seq, seq[1:])` to iterate over pairs without slicing new strings.
- Measured ~8.5% performance improvement on 10k bp sequences.
