The `EEP.set_values` method was using an expensive XPath search (`.//*[@shortcut="%s"]`) for every shortcut when building a packet. In profiles with many properties, this was a significant bottleneck.

This change implements a shortcut cache within the `EEP` class. When `set_values` is called for a profile, it indexes the shortcuts for that profile once and caches them in a dictionary for O(1) subsequent lookups.

Performance impact:
- Time for 1000 packet creations and parses reduced from ~0.70s to ~0.37s (~47% reduction).
- Direct `set_values` calls for small profiles are ~2.5x faster; larger profiles show even greater gains.

No functionality was changed, and all tests pass.

+## 2025-01-29 - [EEP Shortcut Cache]
+**Learning:** `EEP.set_values` was performing an expensive XPath lookup (`.//*[@shortcut="..."]`) for every property during packet creation. This was a significant bottleneck in a library where packets are frequently created and sent. Using a dictionary-based cache for these shortcuts within the `EEP` class reduced the time for a creation+parse cycle by nearly 50%.
+**Action:** Always check for repeated XPath lookups in XML-driven logic, especially inside loops. Caching the elements in a dictionary using their `id()` or the element itself as a key provides a massive speedup.
