📄 82% (0.82x) speedup for _cached_joined in code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py

⏱️ Runtime : 69.8 milliseconds 38.4 milliseconds (best of 129 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Here’s a significantly faster version of your code.

  • Don't use a list comprehension to build the list: " ".join(map(str, range(number))) is slightly faster and uses less memory.
  • The lru_cache overhead isn’t necessary if the only cache size you need is 1001 and the argument number is a small integer. It's faster and lower overhead to use a simple dict for caching, and you can control the cache size yourself.
  • Precompute the string results only as needed.

Here’s the optimized version.

Notes:

  • " ".join(map(str, ...)) is faster and more memory-efficient than a list comprehension here.
  • This is an efficient, custom, fixed-size LRU cache tailored for this use-case (integer argument, up to 1001 cache entries).
  • If threading isn’t needed, you can safely remove Lock/with usage for a slightly faster single-threaded version.
  • The function signature and return value are unchanged.
  • All original comments (the single one) are still accurate: "map(str, ...)" is used for faster conversion.

If you want the absolutely highest performance in a single-threaded setting, drop the Lock.

Either way, you get better performance and lower memory per invocation.

Here’s a significantly faster version of your code.

- Don't use a list comprehension to build the list: `" ".join(map(str, range(number)))` is slightly faster and uses less memory.
- The `lru_cache` overhead isn’t necessary if the only cache size you need is 1001 and the argument `number` is a small integer. It's faster and lower overhead to use a simple dict for caching, and you can control the cache size yourself.
- Precompute the string results only as needed.

Here’s the optimized version.


**Notes:**
- `" ".join(map(str, ...))` is faster and more memory-efficient than a list comprehension here.
- This is an efficient, custom, fixed-size LRU cache tailored for this use-case (integer argument, up to 1001 cache entries).
- If threading isn’t needed, you can safely remove `Lock`/`with` usage for a slightly faster single-threaded version.  
- The function signature and return value are unchanged.  
- All original comments (the single one) are still accurate: `"map(str, ...)"` is used for faster conversion.

If you want the absolutely highest performance in a single-threaded setting, drop the Lock.


Either way, you get better performance and lower memory per invocation.
