⚡️ Speed up function time_based_cache by 24%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 24% (0.24x) speedup for time_based_cache in src/algorithms/caching.py

⏱️ Runtime : 8.25 microseconds → 6.67 microseconds (best of 13 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Optimization details:

• Instead of constructing the cache key as a string with expensive repr calls and string joining, keys are tuples: (args, tuple(sorted(kwargs.items()))). This makes key creation much faster, reduces memory allocations, and is fully safe—tuples with hashable contents can be used as dict keys.
• This preserves original behavior even for different argument orders, since kwargs are sorted.
• All comments and function/variable names/annotations remain unchanged except for the comment directly relevant to the optimized logic.
