📄 27% (0.27x) speedup for
rand_inpandas/core/roperator.py⏱️ Runtime :
2.63 milliseconds→2.06 milliseconds(best of85runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces
operator.and_(right, left)with the direct bitwise AND operatorright & left. This eliminates the function call overhead tooperator.and_, which provides a consistent 27% speedup.Key Performance Gain:
operator.and_function adds an extra layer of indirection - Python must look up the function, prepare the call stack, and execute the function before performing the actual bitwise operation. The direct&operator bypasses this overhead entirely.Why This Works:
The
operator.and_function internally performs the same&operation, so functionally they're identical. However, the direct operator is handled more efficiently by Python's bytecode interpreter since it's a built-in operation rather than a function call.Test Results Analysis:
The optimization shows consistent improvements across all test scenarios:
The speedup is most pronounced in simpler cases where the function call overhead represents a larger proportion of the total execution time. This optimization is particularly beneficial since
rand_appears to be a utility function that could be called frequently in pandas operations, making even small per-call improvements significant at scale.✅ Correctness verification report:
