Identify and remove redundant operations, unnecessary copies, and repeated computations that add algorithmic overhead without providing value. This includes avoiding redundant hash operations, using const references instead of copies, implementing memoization for expensive lookups, and making conscious space-time tradeoffs.

Key patterns to watch for:

Example optimization:

// Instead of redundant hash_combine:
facebook::react::hash_combine(seed, color.getUIColorHash());

// Return hash directly:
return color.getUIColorHash();

// Use const references to avoid copies:
const auto& orientation = gradient.orientation;
const auto& colorStops = gradient.colorStops;

Consider the frequency of operations and choose the approach that minimizes total computational cost while maintaining code clarity.
