- Don't use a list comprehension to build the list: `" ".join(map(str, range(number)))` is slightly faster and uses less memory.
- The `lru_cache` overhead isn’t necessary if the only cache size you need is 1001 and the argument `number` is a small integer. It's faster and lower overhead to use a simple dict for caching, and you can control the cache size yourself.
- Precompute the string results only as needed.

Here’s the optimized version.


**Notes:**
- `" ".join(map(str, ...))` is faster and more memory-efficient than a list comprehension here.
- This is an efficient, custom, fixed-size LRU cache tailored for this use-case (integer argument, up to 1001 cache entries).
- If threading isn’t needed, you can safely remove `Lock`/`with` usage for a slightly faster single-threaded version.
- The function signature and return value are unchanged.
- All original comments (the single one) are still accurate: `"map(str, ...)"` is used for faster conversion.

If you want the absolutely highest performance in a single-threaded setting, drop the Lock.


Either way, you get better performance and lower memory per invocation.
