42x faster prompt lookup drafting in llama.cpp

Any advice for what I can do? Due to this, I cannot create a PR or issue in the llama.cpp repository. However, I am worried about bothering the maintainers on other channels in case it aggravates them further. Thank you for your help!

Fun update to this: Daniel Lemire added another optimization to make this even faster. https://github.com/jadidbourbaki/llama.cpp/pull/12

I’ll benchmark his change and add it to the article, crediting him for this improvement.
