📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for OtelInterceptor._intercept_call in chromadb/telemetry/opentelemetry/grpc.py

⏱️ Runtime : 170 microseconds 158 microseconds (best of 120 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 7% speedup through three key improvements:

1. Replaced binascii.hexlify().decode() with .hex()

  • Changed binascii.hexlify(span_id.to_bytes(8, "big")).decode() to span_id.to_bytes(8, "big").hex()
  • The .hex() method is a direct, native operation that's faster than the two-step hexlify+decode process
  • Line profiler shows encoding functions run ~30% faster (13.3μs → 9.3μs for span_id, 24.6μs → 16.3μs for trace_id)

2. Eliminated redundant get_span_context() calls

  • Original code called span.get_span_context() twice; optimized version stores it in span_ctx variable
  • Reduces method call overhead in the hot path where trace/span IDs are extracted

3. Minimized result.code() calls and improved conditional logic

  • Cached result.code() in a code variable instead of calling it 3 times
  • Restructured the details check to avoid the redundant and result.details() call when hasattr fails
  • Optimized metadata handling to avoid unnecessary slicing with client_call_details.metadata[:]

These optimizations are particularly effective for high-frequency gRPC calls where the encoding functions and span context access happen repeatedly. The test results show consistent 6-13% improvements across various scenarios, with the largest gains (13.7%) occurring when handling large trace/span IDs where the encoding optimization has maximum impact.

The optimization achieves a **7% speedup** through three key improvements:

**1. Replaced `binascii.hexlify().decode()` with `.hex()`**
- Changed `binascii.hexlify(span_id.to_bytes(8, "big")).decode()` to `span_id.to_bytes(8, "big").hex()`
- The `.hex()` method is a direct, native operation that's faster than the two-step hexlify+decode process
- Line profiler shows encoding functions run ~30% faster (13.3μs → 9.3μs for span_id, 24.6μs → 16.3μs for trace_id)

**2. Eliminated redundant `get_span_context()` calls**
- Original code called `span.get_span_context()` twice; optimized version stores it in `span_ctx` variable
- Reduces method call overhead in the hot path where trace/span IDs are extracted

**3. Minimized `result.code()` calls and improved conditional logic**
- Cached `result.code()` in a `code` variable instead of calling it 3 times
- Restructured the `details` check to avoid the redundant `and result.details()` call when `hasattr` fails
- Optimized metadata handling to avoid unnecessary slicing with `client_call_details.metadata[:]`

These optimizations are particularly effective for **high-frequency gRPC calls** where the encoding functions and span context access happen repeatedly. The test results show consistent 6-13% improvements across various scenarios, with the largest gains (13.7%) occurring when handling large trace/span IDs where the encoding optimization has maximum impact.
