Current State

HistGradientBootingClassifier and HistGradientBootingRegressor both:

• Calculate the sample size count in histograms
• Use count for splitting (mostly excluding split candidates)
• Save the count in the final trees and use it in partial dependence computations.

Proposition

1. Evaluate if removing count from the histograms (LightGBM only sums gradient and hessian in histograms, no count) gives a good speed-up.
   Edit: LightGBM uses an approximate count based on the hessian to check for min sample size. So this might not be what we want.
2. Add an option to save counts and sample weights to final trees at the very end of fit (where the binned training X is still available).
3. Use partial dependence method='recursion' if the above option was set, else use method='brute'.

Why?
#25431 concluded that adding weights to the trees is too expensive. The above proposition gives a user a clear choice: Faster training time or faster pdp afterwards.
