📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for
caching_module_getattrinlib/matplotlib/_api/__init__.py⏱️ Runtime :
143 microseconds→136 microseconds(best of124runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization achieves a 5% speedup through two key changes that reduce overhead in the decorator setup and attribute lookup:
Key Optimizations:
Direct dictionary access: Replaced
vars(cls).items()withcls.__dict__.items()when building the properties dictionary. This eliminates the overhead of thevars()function call, which internally performs additional work beyond a simple dictionary access.Single lookup pattern: Changed from
name in propsfollowed byprops[name](two dictionary operations) toprops.get(name)followed by a null check (one dictionary operation). This reduces dictionary lookups from 2 to 1 in the common case.Why it's faster:
vars()creates a proxy object and has additional overhead compared to direct__dict__accessdict.get()approach eliminates redundant hash computations and key lookups that occur with theinoperator followed by indexingvars()→__dict__changePerformance characteristics:
The optimization benefits all test cases, with larger improvements (6-10%) seen in scenarios with many properties, as the dictionary operation savings compound. The caching behavior and error handling remain identical, ensuring no behavioral changes while providing consistent performance gains across different usage patterns.
