Writing many small strings to a file sequentially introduces significant system call overhead and frequent `zlib.crc32` updates. This adds a `bytearray` buffer to `ChecksumWriter.write` to chunk and batch writes (flushing at 64KB), providing a ~1.36x speedup for saving an index.

Code Review
This pull request introduces write batching in ChecksumWriter using an internal bytearray buffer to reduce system call overhead and optimize zlib.crc32 updates. The feedback suggests a performance improvement to bypass the buffer entirely when writing large chunks of data, preventing unnecessary in-memory copies and memory spikes.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

When writing large chunks of data (such as serialized index arrays, which can be tens or hundreds of megabytes), appending them to self._buf via extend() creates an unnecessary in-memory copy of the entire payload. This leads to a significant memory spike and CPU overhead, which contradicts the optimization goals of this PR.
To optimize this, we can bypass the buffer entirely for writes that are already larger than or equal to _max_buf. We first flush any existing buffered data to preserve write ordering, and then directly update the CRC and write the large chunk to the underlying file.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Keep _buf bounded for oversized writes.
extend(data) copies the entire input before checking _max_buf, so one large bytes/bytearray can temporarily allocate an arbitrarily large second copy of the payload. Flush existing data first, then write oversized inputs directly or process them in bounded chunks.
Proposed fix
- self._buf.extend(data)
- if len(self._buf) >= self._max_buf:
+ data_len = len(data)
+ if data_len >= self._max_buf:
+ self._flush()
+ self._crc = zlib.crc32(data, self._crc)
+ self._f.write(data)
+ return data_len
+ if len(self._buf) + data_len > self._max_buf:
self._flush()
- return len(data)
+ self._buf.extend(data)
+ if len(self._buf) == self._max_buf:
+ self._flush()
+ return data_len📝 Committable suggestion

A recent NumPy release (>=2.5.0) introduced `type` statements in its stubs (`__init__.pyi`) that are only supported in Python 3.12+. Since `mypy` is configured to run with `python_version = "3.10"`, it fails with syntax errors during the CI check. Pinning NumPy avoids the issue without modifying the project's core configuration files. Co-authored-by: stffns <70039235+stffns@users.noreply.github.com>
