📄 49% (0.49x) speedup for OtelInterceptor.intercept_unary_unary in chromadb/telemetry/opentelemetry/grpc.py

⏱️ Runtime : 664 microseconds 445 microseconds (best of 91 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 49% speedup by eliminating repeated import overhead, which was the primary performance bottleneck.

Key optimizations:

  1. Module-level imports: Moved tracer, _encode_span_id, and _encode_trace_id imports to the top of the file. The line profiler shows the original code spent 36.4% of execution time (895,930ns out of 2,459,270ns) on the repeated from chromadb.telemetry.opentelemetry import tracer import in every call.

  2. Reduced attribute lookups: Cached span.get_span_context() in a local variable ctx to avoid calling it twice for trace_id and span_id extraction. Also cached result.code() to avoid repeated method calls.

  3. Optimized metadata handling:

    • Used conditional list creation instead of always slicing with [:]
    • Used append() calls instead of extend() for adding the two metadata items
    • Preserved the original tuple conversion for gRPC compatibility

The optimization is most effective for scenarios with frequent tracer-disabled calls (46-99% speedup in tests) and high-volume call patterns (52% speedup for 500 calls), making it ideal for production environments where telemetry may be conditionally enabled and gRPC calls are frequent.

The optimization achieves a **49% speedup** by eliminating repeated import overhead, which was the primary performance bottleneck. 

**Key optimizations:**

1. **Module-level imports**: Moved `tracer`, `_encode_span_id`, and `_encode_trace_id` imports to the top of the file. The line profiler shows the original code spent 36.4% of execution time (895,930ns out of 2,459,270ns) on the repeated `from chromadb.telemetry.opentelemetry import tracer` import in every call.

2. **Reduced attribute lookups**: Cached `span.get_span_context()` in a local variable `ctx` to avoid calling it twice for trace_id and span_id extraction. Also cached `result.code()` to avoid repeated method calls.

3. **Optimized metadata handling**: 
   - Used conditional list creation instead of always slicing with `[:]`
   - Used `append()` calls instead of `extend()` for adding the two metadata items
   - Preserved the original tuple conversion for gRPC compatibility

The optimization is most effective for scenarios with **frequent tracer-disabled calls** (46-99% speedup in tests) and **high-volume call patterns** (52% speedup for 500 calls), making it ideal for production environments where telemetry may be conditionally enabled and gRPC calls are frequent.
