Added a few improvements to the linking operation using yt. The first improvement is to use np.searchsorted instead of np.in1d for comparing member ids of halos. The second improvement is to reduce the amount of time .member_ids is called on halo objects. The third improvement is to cache the members ids after matching ts1 to ts2, to be reused for matching ts2 to ts1.
This was done as a necessity to link catalogs for the MEGATRON suite of simulations. Linking the dark matter-only version of MEGATRON went from taking ~3 weeks to ~3 days with my improvements.
