Improve Distance Calculation Methods

Description:

Optimize the distance calculation methods used in Neighborly to enhance the efficiency of search algorithms, especially for high-dimensional data.

2Distance Calculation: In the Distance method of Vector, it's calculating the Euclidean distance between two vectors. This involves a square root operation, which is computationally expensive.

Tasks:

• Review and analyze the current distance calculation methods.
• Implement optimizations such as caching intermediate results or using more efficient mathematical techniques.
• Write benchmarks to measure the performance improvements.

Resources:

• Optimizing Distance Calculations
• Existing distance calculation methods in Neighborly

Impact:

Optimized distance calculations will improve the performance of search algorithms, making Neighborly faster and more efficient.
