📄 22% (0.22x) speedup for PalmConfig.get_config in litellm/llms/deprecated_providers/palm.py

⏱️ Runtime : 259 microseconds 211 microseconds (best of 532 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 22% speedup by eliminating expensive dictionary operations and reducing repetitive lookups in both methods.

Key optimizations:

  1. Eliminated locals() copying in __init__: The original code called locals().copy() which creates a dictionary of all local variables, then iterates through it. The optimized version uses direct conditional checks for each parameter, avoiding dictionary creation and iteration overhead.

  2. Reduced tuple creation and lookups in get_config:

    • Pre-defines the exclude_types tuple once instead of recreating it inline
    • Replaces the dict comprehension with an explicit loop to avoid intermediate list creation
    • Uses a regular dictionary (cfg = {}) and explicit assignment instead of dictionary comprehension
  3. Better memory access patterns: The optimized version accesses class attributes directly rather than through dictionary iteration, which is more cache-friendly.

Performance characteristics by test case:

  • Small configurations (1-3 attributes): 15-22% faster due to eliminated dictionary overhead
  • Large-scale scenarios (100-500 attributes): 24-30% faster, showing the optimization scales well
  • Empty configurations: 19-21% faster, demonstrating the baseline overhead reduction

The optimizations are particularly effective for the common use case of configuration objects with a moderate number of attributes, where the dictionary creation and iteration overhead becomes significant relative to the actual work being done.
