⚡️ Speed up function create_dynamic_operand_builder by 6%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for create_dynamic_operand_builder in inference/core/workflows/core_steps/common/query_language/evaluation_engine/core.py

⏱️ Runtime : 52.4 microseconds → 49.4 microseconds (best of 21 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 6% speedup through two key changes in the build_operations_chain function:

Key Optimizations:

1. List Comprehension Replacement: The original code used a manual loop with append() to build the operations list:

   operations_functions = []
   for operation_id, operation_definition in enumerate(operations):
       # ... build operation ...
       operations_functions.append(operation_function)

   The optimized version uses a list comprehension, which is faster in Python due to reduced function call overhead and better memory allocation patterns.

2. Simplified Empty Check: Changed if not len(operations): to if not operations:, eliminating an unnecessary function call since Python treats empty sequences as falsy.

Why This Matters:

The line profiler shows the list comprehension execution (line with operations_functions = [) takes 268ms vs the original loop structure taking 304ms total - demonstrating the comprehension's efficiency. The build_operations_chain function is called from create_dynamic_operand_builder, which itself is used in query language evaluation pipelines.

Performance Impact:

Test results show consistent 5-14% improvements across various scenarios, with the largest gains (10-14%) occurring when operations lists are empty (identity function cases). This suggests the optimization particularly benefits workflows with simpler operation chains, which are common in query language evaluation where many operands may require minimal transformation.

Since create_dynamic_operand_builder is called through create_operand_builder in the evaluation engine, this optimization will compound across multiple operand evaluations in complex workflows.
