Optimize bytes.translate() by deferring change detection Move the equality check out of the hot loop to allow better compiler optimization. Instead of checking each byte during translation, perform a single memcmp at the end to determine if the input can be returned unchanged. This allows compilers to unroll and pipeline the loops, resulting in ~2x throughput improvement for medium-to-large inputs (tested on an AMD zen2). No change observed on small inputs. It will also be faster for bytes subclasses as those do not need change detection.
