📄 80% (0.80x) speedup for
GoogleGmailDataSource.users_settings_get_languageinbackend/python/app/sources/external/google/gmail/gmail.py⏱️ Runtime :
8.14 milliseconds→4.51 milliseconds(best of45runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves an 80% runtime speedup (8.14ms → 4.51ms) through two key optimizations:
1. Method Chain Caching: The most significant optimization caches the Gmail API method reference
self.client.users().settings().getLanguageduring initialization asself._get_language. The line profiler shows this eliminates the expensive method chain traversal that consumed 69.3% of execution time (21.8ms) in the original code, reducing it to just 47.5% (8.8ms) - a ~60% reduction in this critical path.2. Conditional Dictionary Allocation: Replaces the always-allocating
kwargs or {}pattern with conditional logic that only creates new dictionaries when necessary. WhenuserIdis None, it reuses the original kwargs directly instead of creating a copy.The line profiler data clearly shows the optimization's impact: the method call line drops from 47,420ns per hit to 19,114ns per hit - a 60% reduction per operation. This optimization is particularly valuable for high-frequency Gmail API operations, as evidenced by the test cases showing concurrent calls and large-scale operations (100 calls).
Note that while runtime improves significantly, throughput shows a slight decrease (21,714 → 20,790 ops/sec, -4.3%). This suggests the optimization reduces individual call latency but may introduce slight overhead in high-concurrency scenarios, possibly due to the cached reference or memory access patterns. However, the substantial runtime improvement makes this trade-off beneficial for most real-world usage patterns where individual call performance matters more than peak theoretical throughput.
