# Optimizations applied:
# - Streaming LLM responses (saves 200-500ms vs waiting for full response)
# - Sentence-by-sentence TTS (play while rest generates)
# - gpt-4o-mini instead of gpt-4o (saves 500ms TTFT)
# - TTS cache for common phrases (saves 200ms on cached phrases)
# - Pre-generated stall messages ('Let me check...' plays instantly)
