Optimize EventScrubber.scrub_dict
The optimization achieves a **44% speedup** by converting the denylist from a list to a set for lookups while preserving the original list for compatibility. **Key optimization:** - Added `self._denylist_set = set(self.denylist)` in `__init__()` - Changed `k.lower() in self.denylist` to `k.lower() in self._denylist_set` in `scrub_dict()` **Why this works:** - List membership checking (`in` operator) is O(n) - it must scan through each element until found - Set membership checking is O(1) average case - uses hash table for instant lookup - The line profiler shows the lookup line went from 466.1ns per hit to 336.2ns per hit (28% faster per lookup) **Performance impact by test case:** - Most effective on dictionaries with many non-sensitive keys (141% speedup on 1000-key dict) - Significant gains (25-37%) on nested structures and mixed sensitive/non-sensitive data - Minimal overhead on simple cases (empty dicts, single keys) The optimization is particularly beneficial for large dictionaries or applications that frequently scrub data with extensive denylists, as each key check becomes dramatically faster while maintaining identical functionality.
