📄 23% (0.23x) speedup for _key_as_string in sentry_sdk/integrations/redis/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 2.07 milliseconds 1.69 milliseconds (best of 176 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization primarily replaces the generator expression (_safe_decode(x) for x in key) with map(_safe_decode, key) in the _key_as_string function when handling dict, list, and tuple types. Additionally, all branches now return directly instead of assigning to a variable first.

Key changes:

  • Generator to map() replacement: ", ".join(_safe_decode(x) for x in key) becomes ", ".join(map(_safe_decode, key))
  • Direct returns: Each branch returns immediately instead of assigning to key variable and returning at the end

Why this is faster:
The map() function is implemented in C and creates an iterator more efficiently than Python's generator expressions. When str.join() consumes the iterator, map() avoids the Python function call overhead that generator expressions incur for each element. The line profiler shows the critical line (joining elements) improved from 866,894ns per hit to 790,411ns per hit - an 8.8% improvement on the hottest code path.

Performance characteristics:

  • Best gains on large collections: Large-scale tests show 22-34% speedups (e.g., 1000-element collections)
  • Consistent improvements on mixed types: Tests with bytes, integers, and complex nested structures show 10-25% gains
  • Minimal overhead on simple cases: Single-value tests show modest 2-17% improvements
  • No regression on edge cases: Unicode decode errors and complex nested structures maintain performance

The optimization is particularly effective because _key_as_string is likely called frequently in Redis integration scenarios where keys are often collections that need string conversion for logging or monitoring purposes.

The optimization primarily replaces the generator expression `(_safe_decode(x) for x in key)` with `map(_safe_decode, key)` in the `_key_as_string` function when handling dict, list, and tuple types. Additionally, all branches now return directly instead of assigning to a variable first.

**Key changes:**
- **Generator to `map()` replacement**: `", ".join(_safe_decode(x) for x in key)` becomes `", ".join(map(_safe_decode, key))`
- **Direct returns**: Each branch returns immediately instead of assigning to `key` variable and returning at the end

**Why this is faster:**
The `map()` function is implemented in C and creates an iterator more efficiently than Python's generator expressions. When `str.join()` consumes the iterator, `map()` avoids the Python function call overhead that generator expressions incur for each element. The line profiler shows the critical line (joining elements) improved from 866,894ns per hit to 790,411ns per hit - an 8.8% improvement on the hottest code path.

**Performance characteristics:**
- **Best gains on large collections**: Large-scale tests show 22-34% speedups (e.g., 1000-element collections)
- **Consistent improvements on mixed types**: Tests with bytes, integers, and complex nested structures show 10-25% gains
- **Minimal overhead on simple cases**: Single-value tests show modest 2-17% improvements
- **No regression on edge cases**: Unicode decode errors and complex nested structures maintain performance

The optimization is particularly effective because `_key_as_string` is likely called frequently in Redis integration scenarios where keys are often collections that need string conversion for logging or monitoring purposes.
