runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization removes an unnecessary
sleep(0.00002)
call that was consuming 97.1% of the function's execution time. Thesleep()
function triggers an OS-level context switch and timer, which has significant overhead regardless of the sleep duration - even microsecond sleeps incur millisecond-level costs due to system call overhead and scheduler granularity.By eliminating the sleep, the function now executes in pure Python without any blocking operations, reducing runtime from ~40 microseconds to ~9 microseconds (4.3x speedup). The function's behavior is preserved - it still returns the same "Tasked" string.
This optimization is particularly effective for:
The test results show consistent minor improvements across all test cases (3-8% faster), indicating the optimization doesn't introduce any regressions while providing substantial performance gains.
