Description
This pull request proposes a performance enhancement in the implementation of elliptic curve operations. Instead of using a full multiplication operation like
FieldElement::TWO * a
to handle doubling (2 * a), it suggests utilizing thedouble
method available in theFieldElement
struct.The rationale behind this enhancement is that the doubling operation (a + a) requires only one addition between field elements, which is more performant compared to a full multiplication. Therefore, replacing multiplication with addition can improve the efficiency of various computations involving point doubling in elliptic curve arithmetic.
