Look into how Skyfield gets satellite positions so quickly #87

It would be useful to know how Skyfield does all the calculations so quickly when finding satellite positions with a list of datetimes. This could help explain the unexpected behavior of it not scaling linearly with larger time windows and may provide a useful method to help optimize list comprehension in a more general sense.
