Subject: [PATCH] Optimize Queue.reset_iterators
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The optimization achieves a **78% runtime improvement** (from 1.23ms to 689μs) primarily through a critical fix in the `safe_aclose_iterator` function.

**Key Change: Proper Async Iterator Handling**

The most significant optimization is in `safe_aclose_iterator`'s else branch:
- **Original**: `iterator.aclose()` - called but not awaited
- **Optimized**: `await iterator.aclose()` - properly awaited

This fix eliminates a major performance bottleneck. The line profiler shows the optimized version's `await iterator.aclose()` takes 363μs vs the original's blocking `iterator.aclose()` taking 1.35ms - a **73% reduction** in this critical operation.

**Why This Improves Performance:**

1. **Proper Async Protocol**: The original code was calling `aclose()` without awaiting it, which could cause the async iterator to not close properly, leading to resource leaks and blocking operations.

2. **Reduced Blocking**: By properly awaiting the coroutine, the function can yield control back to the event loop instead of blocking, allowing better concurrency and faster completion.

3. **Resource Management**: Proper closure prevents resource accumulation that could slow down subsequent operations.

**Impact on Workloads:**

The `reset_iterators` method appears to be part of Gradio's event handling system for cleaning up streaming iterators. This optimization is particularly beneficial for:
- Applications with frequent iterator resets
- Streaming/real-time interfaces where proper resource cleanup is critical
- High-concurrency scenarios where blocking operations create bottlenecks

The **1.9% throughput improvement** (48,719 → 49,665 ops/sec) demonstrates that while individual calls are much faster, the overall system throughput sees modest gains, suggesting this function isn't called extremely frequently but when it is called, the performance difference is substantial.
