📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for
GoogleGmailDataSource.users_settings_get_popinbackend/python/app/sources/external/google/gmail/gmail.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.05 milliseconds→974 microseconds(best of21runs)📝 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
kwargsregardless of whether it's needed, the code now uses conditional branching to handle four distinct scenarios:kwargsis empty anduserIdexists, it callsgetPop(userId=userId)directly, avoiding any dictionary operationsPerformance 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'] = userIdrequire hash table lookups and memory allocation. By avoiding these operations whenkwargsis 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.
