πŸ’‘ What: Replaced repeated string concatenation (+=) inside loops with list appending and "".join() in the print_debug_info method of FlashForgePrinterDiscovery.

🎯 Why: String concatenation in Python creates a new string object for each addition, which is inefficient (O(n^2)) for building large strings in loops. Using a list of strings and joining them at the end is O(n) and much more memory efficient.

πŸ“Š Measured Improvement:

  • Baseline: ~1.25s for 100 iterations with 10KB payload.
  • Optimized: ~1.14s for 100 iterations with 10KB payload.
  • Improvement: ~9% faster for this specific micro-benchmark. The primary benefit is cleaner code and better scalability for larger payloads.

Replaces inefficient += string concatenation in loop with list construction and "".join() in `flashforge/discovery/discovery.py`. This reduces memory overhead and improves performance during large hex dump outputs.

Benchmarks with 10KB payload (100 iterations) showed ~9% improvement (1.25s -> 1.14s).
