Most likely a missued of Pandas. DF are heavy to create, but calculations on them are fast if you stay in the numpy world and stay vectorized.

Yeah, I'm a bit suspicious that they made two simultaneous changes:

  1. remove pandas
  2. externalize WEIGHTS and don't generate it every run

Point 2 is likely a huge portion of the runtime.

"It's fast so long as you don't use any of the many parts that aren't fast!"

This isn't great.
