- Simplified conditions for words with apostrophes.
- Streamlined __post_replace_ph function by removing redundant checks.
- Optimized __refine_syllables function with direct iteration.
- Avoided re-initialization of tokenizer in __text_to_words by moving it to global scope.
- Added performance test in __main__ to validate improvements.
