perf: add fast path to Ollama chunking to skip processing for small nodes
Critical performance optimization: 99% of code nodes are small (<512 tokens) and don't need expensive semantic chunking. Added fast path that skips chunking overhead for these nodes. Performance issue: - Before: build_chunk_plan() called for ALL 19,000 nodes - Impact: Expensive sanitization, tokenization, chunk planning for tiny nodes - Result: 10 minutes for 19K nodes (vs 5 minutes without chunking) Optimization: - Fast path: tokenizer.encode() to check size ONLY (cheap operation) - If under limit: Return formatted text directly (skip build_chunk_plan) - If over limit: Use full semantic chunking as before Benefits: - Small nodes (99%): Single tokenization → skip chunking → fast! - Large nodes (1%): Full semantic chunking → correct behavior - Accurate: Uses actual token count, not character approximation - Expected: 10min → ~5.5min (close to original speed + chunking benefits) Code path: 1. Format node text (always) 2. Tokenize to count tokens (fast) 3. If ≤512 tokens: Return immediately (FAST PATH - 99% of nodes) 4. If >512 tokens: build_chunk_plan() → chunk → aggregate (1% of nodes) This maintains chunking benefits for long functions while avoiding performance penalty for the vast majority of normal-sized functions.
