Why is it faster?

Is it still always Θ(N) just with a smaller constant (if so, what makes
the constant smaller), or does it benefit from some kind of caching
(which I fail to see in the code) such that it's O(N) sometimes but much
faster other times (and if so, what are the cases that are sped up)?
