KNeighborsClassifier can compute the nearest neighbors internally, but precomputing them can have several benefits, such as finer parameter control, caching for multiple use, or custom implementations. Here we use the caching property of pipelines to cache the nearest neighbors graph between multiple fits of KNeighborsClassifier. The first call is slow since it computes the neighbors graph, while subsequent call are faster as they do not need to recompute the graph. Here the durations are small since the dataset is small, but the gain can be more substantial when the dataset grows larger, or when the grid of parameter to search is large. ..
