Some micro optimizations for performance are possible. #243

Description

@Oxoron

Some micro optimizations for performance are possible.

For.ex. in the PerLabelL1 property ( see link) we divide all array's elements onto the single _sumWeight value, in the loop. If we compute 1/_sumWeight division before a loop, we can multiply all element on computed value, that speeds up an execution time 4 times (see example below and in the attach).

Source code / logs

        private static int _sumWeights = 14;        

        public static double[] OriginDivideArray(this double[] _l1Loss)
        {
            var res = new double[_l1Loss.Length];
            if (_sumWeights == 0)
                return res;
            for (int i = 0; i < _l1Loss.Length; i++)
                res[i] = _l1Loss[i] / _sumWeights;
            return res;
        }

        public static double[] OptimizedDivideArray(this double[] _l1Loss)
        {
            var res = new double[_l1Loss.Length];
            if (_sumWeights == 0)
                return res;

            var revSumWeights = 1 / _sumWeights; // Cache division result here

            for (int i = 0; i < _l1Loss.Length; i++)
                res[i] = _l1Loss[i] * revSumWeights; // Update division to mult here
            return res;
        }

The question is: do we need these optimizations? On a 1000 elements array it saves us just some microseconds.
