Optimize draw (#811)
The key optimization replaces a Python loop with vectorized NumPy operations in the `draw` function's multiple sample case.
**What changed:**
- Replaced the explicit Python loop `for i in range(size): out[i] = searchsorted(cdf, rs[i])` with a single vectorized call: `out = np.searchsorted(cdf, rs, side='right')`
- Removed the separate `np.empty` allocation since `np.searchsorted` returns the output array directly
**Why this is faster:**
The original code performs `size` individual calls to the custom `searchsorted` function in Python, each requiring loop overhead and function call overhead. The optimized version leverages NumPy's highly optimized C implementation that processes the entire array in one operation, eliminating Python loop overhead entirely.
**Performance characteristics:**
- Massive speedups for large sample sizes (857% faster for 1000 samples, 934% for 500 samples)
- Modest improvements for small sample sizes (35-40% faster for 10-100 samples)
- Single draws remain unchanged, preserving the custom implementation's behavior
- Edge cases like `size=0` show slight regression due to NumPy's overhead for empty arrays, but these are uncommon scenarios
The optimization is most effective when `size` is an integer (vectorizable case), while preserving the original behavior for single draws and non-integer sizes.
