⚡️ Speed up method CharacterRemover.remove_control_characters by 655%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 655% (6.55x) speedup for CharacterRemover.remove_control_characters in code_to_optimize/remove_control_chars.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.78 millisecond → 236 microseconds (best of 1287 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Certainly! To optimize the program, we can use the str.translate method with a translation table to remove the control characters, which is generally faster than regular expressions.

The str.translate method with a translation table is faster than re.sub for this specific task because it operates at a lower level, directly modifying the characters in the string based on the translation table. This reduces the overhead associated with regular expression parsing.
