This is natural: converting many integers to strings and joining them is expensive. However, there are still some ways to make this line run faster.

- **Use a preallocated list:** List comprehension with strings (instead of `map(str, ...)`) tends to be faster.
- **Buffer I/O for join:** `str.join()` is already very efficient for concatenation, so replacing it is not meaningful unless you switch to a different overall approach such as using NumPy (not always faster for small numbers; adds dependency).
- **String concatenation of numbers separated by a space:** For large or repeated usage, `array.array` can help for purely numeric data, but since we want a space-separated string, that's not relevant here.
- **Reuse memory / precomputation:** For repeated calls for all numbers <=1000, you could cache the results.

**Therefore, the most performant pure Python solution is to**.
1. Use a list comprehension: `[str(i) for i in range(number)]` instead of `map(str, range(number))`. This is known to be marginally faster in CPython as of Python 3.5+.
2. Memoize/cached results for repeated calls (for number ≤ 1000).

### Optimized code



**Why this is faster:**
- For multiple calls to `funcA` with the same parameter, the expensive join/str operation is performed only once for each possible `number` input and then immediately reused from the cache next time.
- For a single call, the list comprehension is marginally faster than `map`.
- No unnecessary imports or dependencies.

**Note:** If you're truly only calling `funcA` once per run, caching gives minimal gain, but for batch/repeated calls (as your profiling implies, 53 hits), this is a significant win.

Let me know if you'd like even more aggressive tricks (like using array manipulation in C extensions or NumPy; those are generally overkill for up to 1000 elements).
