Optimize TestsCache.compute_file_hash
The optimized code achieves a 52% speedup by replacing the traditional file reading approach with a more efficient buffered I/O pattern using `readinto()` and `memoryview`. **Key optimizations:** 1. **Pre-allocated buffer with `readinto()`**: Instead of `f.read(8192)` which allocates a new bytes object on each iteration, the code uses a single `bytearray(8192)` buffer and reads data directly into it with `f.readinto(mv)`. This eliminates repeated memory allocations. 2. **Memory view for zero-copy slicing**: The `memoryview(buf)` allows efficient slicing (`mv[:n]`) without copying data, reducing memory overhead when updating the hash with partial buffers. 3. **Direct `open()` with unbuffered I/O**: Using `open(path, "rb", buffering=0)` instead of `Path(path).open("rb")` avoids the Path object overhead and disables Python's internal buffering to prevent double-buffering since we're managing our own buffer. **Performance impact**: The line profiler shows the critical file opening operation dropped from 83.4% to 62.2% of total time, while the new buffer operations (`readinto`, `memoryview`) are very efficient. This optimization is particularly effective for medium to large files where the reduced memory allocation overhead compounds across multiple read operations. **Best use cases**: This optimization excels when computing hashes for files larger than the 8KB buffer size, where the memory allocation savings become significant, and when called frequently in batch operations.
