💡 What: Optimized the clock update loop in index.html.
🎯 Why: The original code was calling toLocaleTimeString and toLocaleDateString multiple times every second, which is expensive due to repeated Intl object instantiation. It also performed DOM lookups on every tick.
📊 Impact: Reduces per-tick execution time by ~40x (from ~1.62ms to ~0.04ms), freeing up the main thread and improving battery efficiency for long-running tabs.
🔬 Measurement: Verified using a Playwright-based benchmark script measuring 1000 iterations of updateTime(). Visual parity confirmed with screenshots.

Optimized the 1-second clock update loop in `index.html` by caching `Intl.DateTimeFormat` instances and DOM references.

- Cached 5 `Intl.DateTimeFormat` instances (main time/date and 3 timezones) as constants.
- Cached DOM element references (`currentTime`, `timeZones`) to avoid repeated lookups.
- Reduced execution time per tick from ~1.62ms to ~0.04ms (~40x speedup).
