⚡️ Speed up function create_operand_builder by 129%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 129% (1.29x) speedup for create_operand_builder in inference/core/workflows/core_steps/common/query_language/evaluation_engine/core.py

⏱️ Runtime : 67.7 microseconds → 29.6 microseconds (best of 16 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 128% speedup by eliminating redundant work and streamlining the type checking logic in the frequently-called create_operand_builder function.

Key optimizations:

1. Moved imports to module level: The original code performed local imports of build_operations_chain, static_operand_builder, and dynamic_operand_builder inside each function call. Moving these to the top eliminates repeated import overhead on every invocation.

2. Replaced isinstance() with direct type comparison: Changed from isinstance(definition, StaticOperand) to type(definition) is StaticOperand. This is faster because isinstance() has to handle inheritance chains and protocol checking, while is performs a simple identity comparison.

3. Consolidated logic: Instead of dispatching to separate create_static_operand_builder and create_dynamic_operand_builder functions, the optimized version inlines both paths directly in create_operand_builder. This eliminates function call overhead and duplicated build_operations_chain calls.

Performance impact: Based on the function references, create_operand_builder is called in hot paths within build_binary_statement and build_unary_statement functions that construct evaluation chains. Since these functions are likely called frequently during query language evaluation, the 128% improvement translates to meaningful performance gains in real workloads.

Test case benefits: The annotated tests show consistent 108-150% speedups across various scenarios, with particularly strong performance on large input dictionaries and edge cases like empty operand names, demonstrating the optimization's broad effectiveness regardless of operand complexity.
