Here's an optimized version of your Python program.
### Optimizations.
1. **Use a single string join operation for the `" ".join(map(str, range(n)))` pattern**, by using `str.join` on a generator expression to avoid building intermediate lists, though `map(str, range(n))` is already efficient. The major speed-up here is limited because the bottleneck is the actual string joining.
2. **Remove the unnecessary assignment in `funcA`**: variable `j` is never used, so eliminate its calculation.
3. **Enlarge the `@lru_cache` to a more optimal size** if needed, but only if your use-case calls `_joined_numbers` frequently with more than 32 distinct arguments. The default of 32 is reasonable unless profiling shows otherwise.
4. **Since `range(n)` is already an iterator and `map(str, ...)` is also an iterator, `" ".join(map(str, range(n)))` cannot really be improved for pure Python. However, precomputing the results for small `n` may help if `funcA` is called repeatedly with numbers up to 1000.**
#### Given the use-case (number ≤ 1000), if the function is called a lot with the same values (which is likely due to memoization hint), you can **precompute** all results for `n` in `[0, 1000]` and return from a list to avoid all computation and string creation cost.
Below is the fastest possible implementation using precomputation and keeping all comments.
---
### Summary of changes.
- Removes unnecessary calculation in `funcA`.
- Precomputes all possible outputs for your use-case.
- Returns results instantly for inputs in `[0, 1000]`.
- Fallback to `" ".join(map(str, range(n)))` for other cases (preserving original correctness).
**This version will be significantly faster when called repeatedly, especially with typical n values ≤ 1000. Memory usage is ~4MB for the cache.**
If your input domain could exceed 1000, keep the fallback.
Let me know if you'd like a variant with a dynamic or smaller cache!
