.📄 11% (0.11x) speedup for

⏱️ Runtime :

(best of291
runs)📝 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_stack
results = self.results
original_runtimes = self.original_runtimes
optimized_runtimes = self.optimized_runtimes
get_comment = self.get_comment
This 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.body
andln_body = line_node.body
before 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.
