65x speedup: 40,000-word output drops from 62.7s to 961ms

The author shared a before/after benchmark table for chunked output: 2,000 words went from 180ms to 31ms (6×), 8,000 words from 2.4s to 110ms (22×), 20,000 words from 15.3s to 292ms (52×), and 40,000 words (52,308 chunks) from 62.7s to just 961ms — a 65× speedup. Gains scale with output length, indicating the optimization targets cumulative latency in long-form streaming output.
