📄 10% (0.10x) speedup for
Limit.to_dictinchromadb/execution/expression/operator.py⏱️ Runtime :
2.90 milliseconds→2.65 milliseconds(best of8runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization eliminates unnecessary dictionary manipulation by using conditional returns instead of building and modifying a dictionary. The original code creates a dictionary with "offset", then conditionally adds "limit" via dictionary assignment. The optimized version uses two separate return paths: when
limitis None, it directly returns{"offset": self.offset}, and whenlimithas a value, it returns{"offset": self.offset, "limit": self.limit}in one operation.This change reduces the number of dictionary operations from 2-3 (create dict + conditional assignment) to 1 (single dict creation), eliminating the overhead of dictionary key insertion. The speedup is most pronounced when
limit=None(17.3% faster in tests) since it avoids the conditional assignment entirely. Even whenlimithas a value, creating the full dictionary at once is more efficient than incremental construction.The optimization works well across all test patterns, showing consistent 8-17% improvements for individual calls and 3-15% improvements for batch operations, making it particularly effective for high-frequency serialization scenarios.
