granular-async-instrumentation.📄 11% (0.11x) speedup for
CommentMapper.visit_AsyncFunctionDefincodeflash/code_utils/edit_generated_tests.py⏱️ Runtime :
3.58 milliseconds→3.22 milliseconds(best of291runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves an 11% speedup through several key micro-optimizations that reduce Python's runtime overhead:
1. Cached Attribute/Dictionary Lookups
The most impactful change is caching frequently accessed attributes and dictionaries as local variables:
context_stack = self.context_stackresults = self.resultsoriginal_runtimes = self.original_runtimesoptimized_runtimes = self.optimized_runtimesget_comment = self.get_commentThis eliminates repeated
self.attribute lookups in the tight loops, which the profiler shows are called thousands of times (2,825+ iterations).2. Pre-cached Loop Bodies
Caching
node_body = node.bodyandln_body = line_node.bodybefore loops reduces attribute access overhead. The profiler shows these are accessed in nested loops with high hit counts.3. Optimized String Operations
Using f-strings (
f"{test_qualified_name}#{self.abs_path}",f"{i}_{j}") instead of string concatenation with+operators reduces temporary object creation and string manipulation overhead.4. Refined getattr Usage
Changed from
getattr(compound_line_node, "body", [])togetattr(compound_line_node, 'body', None)with a conditional check, avoiding allocation of empty lists when no body exists.Performance Impact by Test Type:
The optimizations are most effective for functions with many statements or nested compound structures, where the tight loops amplify the benefit of reduced Python interpreter overhead.
