📄 18% (0.18x) speedup for JournalStorageReplayResult.get_study in optuna/storages/journal/_storage.py

⏱️ Runtime : 425 microseconds 359 microseconds (best of 256 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces the explicit membership check (if study_id not in self._studies) with a try/except pattern around direct dictionary access. This eliminates a double dictionary lookup - the original code checks for key existence first, then accesses the value, while the optimized version directly accesses the value and handles the KeyError exception when the key is missing.

Key Changes:

  • Removed if study_id not in self._studies: check
  • Wrapped return self._studies[study_id] in a try block
  • Added except KeyError: to handle missing keys

Why This is Faster:
In Python, dictionary lookups are expensive operations. The original code performs two lookups for existing keys: one for the membership test (in operator) and another for value retrieval. The optimized version performs only one lookup for the common case where the key exists. When the key is missing, the exception handling overhead is minimal compared to the saved lookup.

Performance Profile:
The line profiler shows the optimization is most effective for successful lookups (existing study_ids), where we see 18% speedup overall. For missing keys, there's slight overhead due to exception handling (tests show 14-25% slower for KeyError cases), but this is typically the less common path in real applications.

Best Use Cases:
This optimization is particularly effective when:

  • Most get_study calls are for existing study_ids (high cache hit rate)
  • The application frequently accesses the same studies multiple times
  • Large numbers of studies exist, making the double-lookup cost more significant
