📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for GoogleGmailDataSource.users_settings_get_pop in backend/python/app/sources/external/google/gmail/gmail.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.05 milliseconds 974 microseconds (best of 21 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 7% runtime improvement by eliminating unnecessary dictionary operations in the most common execution path.

Key optimization: Instead of always creating/copying kwargs regardless of whether it's needed, the code now uses conditional branching to handle four distinct scenarios:

  1. Fast path (most common): When kwargs is empty and userId exists, it calls getPop(userId=userId) directly, avoiding any dictionary operations
  2. Empty kwargs, no userId: Direct call with no parameters
  3. With kwargs and userId: Creates a copy to avoid mutating caller's dictionary
  4. With kwargs, no userId: Passes kwargs directly

Performance impact: The line profiler shows the optimization reduces time spent in the API call setup from 81.7% to 82.5% of total time, but with an overall 7% runtime reduction. The fast path (221 out of 225 hits) benefits most from eliminating the kwargs = kwargs or {} assignment and dictionary mutation operations.

Why this works: Dictionary operations in Python have overhead - even simple assignments like kwargs['userId'] = userId require hash table lookups and memory allocation. By avoiding these operations when kwargs is empty (the common case), the code runs faster.

Trade-off consideration: While runtime improves by 7%, throughput shows a 4.5% decrease, suggesting the optimization may have slightly more overhead in high-concurrency scenarios due to the additional conditional branching, though individual call latency is reduced.
