Improve efficiency to solve the baker PoW challenge
Context
Not solving the proof of work challenge in a stupid way in octez baker allows to set a level of difficulty which would not be trivially achievable to a spammer because "it already takes time for the baker to reach".
This patch makes the baker 2x more efficient on my laptop and 3 time more efficient on my odroid C4.
