    image/draw, image/color: optimize hot path sqDiff function · 7a8e8b2f
    Artyom Pervukhin authored
    Function sqDiff is called multiple times in the hot path (x, y loops) of
    drawPaletted from the image/draw package; number of sqDiff calls is
    between 4×width×height and 4×width×height×len(palette) for each
    drawPaletted call.
    
    Simplify this function by removing arguments comparison and relying
    instead on signed to unsigned integer conversion rules and properties of
    unsigned integer values operations guaranteed by the spec:
    
    > For unsigned integer values, the operations +, -, *, and << are
    > computed modulo 2n, where n is the bit width of the unsigned integer's
    > type. Loosely speaking, these unsigned integer operations discard high
    > bits upon overflow, and programs may rely on ``wrap around''.
    
    image/gif package benchmark that depends on the code updated shows
    throughput improvements:
    
    name               old time/op    new time/op    delta
    QuantizedEncode-4     788ms ± 2%     468ms ± 9%  -40.58%  (p=0.000 n=9+10)
    
    name               old speed      new speed      delta
    QuantizedEncode-4  1.56MB/s ± 2%  2.63MB/s ± 8%  +68.47%  (p=0.000 n=9+10)
    
    Closes #22375.
