📄 18% (0.18x) speedup for
JournalStorageReplayResult.get_studyinoptuna/storages/journal/_storage.py⏱️ Runtime :
425 microseconds→359 microseconds(best of256runs)📝 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:
if study_id not in self._studies:checkreturn self._studies[study_id]in a try blockexcept KeyError:to handle missing keysWhy This is Faster:
In Python, dictionary lookups are expensive operations. The original code performs two lookups for existing keys: one for the membership test (
inoperator) 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:
get_studycalls are for existing study_ids (high cache hit rate)✅ Correctness verification report:
