📄 27% (0.27x) speedup for
I18nData.tojsoningradio/i18n.py⏱️ Runtime :
317 microseconds→250 microseconds(best of63runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 26% speedup through two key optimizations:
1. Added
__slots__declaration: The line__slots__ = ("key", "_type")prevents Python from creating a dynamic__dict__for each instance. This reduces memory overhead and makes attribute access faster by storing attributes in a fixed-size array instead of a hash table.2. Eliminated method call overhead: The
tojson()method was changed from callingself.to_dict()to directly returning the dictionary{"__type__": self._type, "key": self.key}. This removes the function call overhead, which the line profiler shows was significant - the originaltojson()took 2639.6ns per hit while the optimized version takes only 375.2ns per hit.Why this works: In Python, method calls have overhead due to stack frame creation and lookup. Since
tojson()was simply delegating toto_dict(), inlining the logic eliminates this overhead. Combined with__slots__making attribute access (self._type,self.key) faster, the overall performance improves significantly.Test results show consistent improvements: All test cases show 25-58% speedups, with particularly strong gains on edge cases like special characters (55.4% faster) and long keys (58.7% faster). The optimization scales well - the large-scale test with 1000 objects shows 25.3% improvement, indicating the benefits are maintained at scale.
Impact: This optimization is especially valuable for serialization-heavy workloads where
tojson()might be called frequently, as each call now executes with significantly less overhead.✅ Correctness verification report:
