Summary

Closes: #000

Testing

[codspeed-hq]

Merging this PR will degrade performance by 21.7%

⚠️ Unknown Walltime execution environment detected

Using the Walltime instrument on standard Hosted Runners will lead to inconsistent data.

For the most accurate results, we recommend using CodSpeed Macro Runners: bare-metal machines fine-tuned for performance measurement consistency.

_{Comparing ji/faster-cast (afcef9e) with develop (2ee2033)}

[robert3005]

in codspeed those two look the same. I wonder if this is because of callgrind
