📄 13% (0.13x) speedup for undo in gradio/themes/builder_app.py

⏱️ Runtime : 78.3 microseconds 69.0 microseconds (best of 76 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces list(old[1]) with *old[1] in the return statement of the undo function, achieving a 13% speedup.

Key change: The original code used + list(old[1]) to concatenate the tuple elements, while the optimized version uses *old[1] (unpacking operator) to expand the tuple elements directly into the list.

Why this is faster: The list() constructor creates an intermediate list object from the tuple, which then gets concatenated with the existing list. The unpacking operator *old[1] directly expands the tuple elements into the list literal [history_var, old[0], *old[1]], eliminating the need for:

  1. Creating an intermediate list object
  2. The list concatenation operation (+)

Performance impact: Line profiler shows the optimized return statement takes ~881.8 ns per hit vs ~1276.3 ns in the original (31% faster for that specific line). This optimization is particularly effective for larger tuples, as evidenced by test cases with large data showing 50%+ speedups.

When this optimization shines: The test results show the greatest improvements (20-56%) occur with larger tuples or complex data structures, making this optimization valuable for applications that process substantial amounts of historical data through the undo functionality.

The optimization replaces `list(old[1])` with `*old[1]` in the return statement of the `undo` function, achieving a 13% speedup.

**Key change:** The original code used `+ list(old[1])` to concatenate the tuple elements, while the optimized version uses `*old[1]` (unpacking operator) to expand the tuple elements directly into the list.
