📄 64% (0.64x) speedup for test_confidence_threshold_not_met_error in codeflash/errors/errors.py

⏱️ Runtime : 27.1 microseconds → 16.5 microseconds (best of 227 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces dynamic object creation with a pre-instantiated constant. Instead of creating a new CodeflashError object on every function call, the optimized version creates the error object once at module load time (_TEST_CONFIDENCE_ERROR) and returns that same instance from the function.

Key changes:

• Added module-level constant _TEST_CONFIDENCE_ERROR containing the pre-created error object
• Function now simply returns the pre-existing object instead of constructing a new one

Why this is faster:

• Eliminates object instantiation overhead: The original version calls CodeflashError.__init__() and allocates memory for a new object on every call (2591.1ns per hit). The optimized version just returns a reference to an existing object (741ns per hit).
• Reduces string handling: The constructor arguments (error code and message strings) are processed only once at module load rather than on every function call.
• Memory efficiency: Only one error object exists in memory rather than potentially many identical instances.

Performance gains by test type:
The 64% speedup is consistent across all test scenarios, with individual test calls showing 90-160% improvements (781ns→371ns, 722ns→331ns, etc.). This optimization is particularly effective for:

• High-frequency error creation scenarios
• Functions that return constant error objects
• Cases where the error object's immutable nature makes instance reuse safe

The optimization maintains identical behavior since CodeflashError objects with the same parameters are functionally equivalent, and the tests confirm the returned object has the correct properties.
