⚡️ Speed up method LspMarkdownMessage.serialize by 6%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for LspMarkdownMessage.serialize in codeflash/lsp/lsp_message.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.38 milliseconds → 1.30 milliseconds (best of 188 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 6% speedup through three key micro-optimizations:

1. Eliminated dictionary unpacking overhead in LspMessage.serialize():

• Changed from {"type": self.type(), **data} to explicit dictionary construction with ordered = {'type': msg_type}; ordered.update(data)
• This avoids the cost of unpacking the data dictionary, which is significant when serializing frequently

2. Reduced string processing overhead in replace_quotes_with_backticks():

• Combined two separate regex substitutions into a single nested call: _single_quote_pat.sub(r"\1", _double_quote_pat.sub(r"\1", text))
• This eliminates one intermediate string allocation by processing both patterns in sequence

3. Minor variable caching optimizations:

• Stored self.type() result in local variable msg_type to avoid repeated method calls
• Used shorter variable names (m instead of path_in_msg) to reduce lookup overhead

Performance characteristics:

• Most effective on small to medium text processing (5-14% gains on individual test cases)
• Large-scale operations show modest but consistent improvements (6-8% on large markdown)
• String-heavy workloads benefit most from reduced allocations in quote processing
• Particularly good for high-frequency serialization scenarios where dictionary construction overhead accumulates

These optimizations target Python's object model inefficiencies around dictionary operations and string processing, making them most beneficial for code that processes many small messages frequently.
