Faster (8):
- listcomp 10000: 118 us +- 2 us -> 92.6 us +- 1.5 us: 1.28x faster
- listcomp 100000: 1.16 ms +- 0.02 ms -> 916 us +- 26 us: 1.27x faster
- listcomp 1000: 12.3 us +- 0.2 us -> 9.89 us +- 0.41 us: 1.25x faster
- listcomp 100: 1.59 us +- 0.03 us -> 1.32 us +- 0.05 us: 1.21x faster
- append 100000: 1.69 ms +- 0.05 ms -> 1.45 ms +- 0.04 ms: 1.17x faster
- append 10000: 168 us +- 4 us -> 145 us +- 3 us: 1.16x faster
