Speed up faidx. #1797

Closed jkbonfield closed 2 months ago

jkbonfield commented 3 months ago

The speed benefits are (seconds):

                   Old    New
Index GRCh38      13.4    8.4
Query chr1         1.7    0.9

Given a significant speed change for a small localised modification it seems worth while having.
