The EAGLE bigram fallback built 64K-token keys with an index-based Python comprehension (6.3 ms per call at 64K tokens). zip + islice runs the pairing loop in C and avoids copying the shifted operand: 3.6-4.2 ms per call (~1.6x). Output is byte-identical (same tuples); the tai-kernel fast path is unaffected. Packing bigrams into int64s via numpy was measured and rejected: the list<->array boxing makes it slower (4.1 ms) than zip until token ids are numpy end-to-end, and it would change HiCache storage hash inputs.
