v1.0.1 - Performance Release

🚀 DVOACAP-Python v1.0.1 - Performance Release

2.3x faster predictions through algorithmic optimizations while maintaining 86.6% validation accuracy!

⚡ Performance Improvements

Operation	v1.0.0	v1.0.1	Speedup
Single prediction	0.008s	0.004s	2.0x
Multi-frequency (9)	0.111s	0.048s	2.3x
24-hour scan	0.282s	0.118s	2.4x
Area coverage (100)	0.820s	0.350s	2.3x

🔧 Key Optimizations

• Binary search for height-density interpolation (O(n) → O(log n))
• Vectorized Gaussian integration using NumPy (eliminated 40-iteration loop)
• Vectorized oblique frequency computation (eliminated 1,200 nested iterations)
• Optimized Fourier series with NumPy dot products
