📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for
_update_task_v2_statusinskyvern/services/task_v2_service.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.22 milliseconds→1.15 milliseconds(best of178runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 6% speedup through several targeted micro-optimizations that reduce CPU overhead in frequently called database operations:
Key Optimizations
1. Database Client (
update_task_v2):if value:checks with a loop over tuples(value, attr_name), reducing branching overhead and improving CPU instruction cache efficiencyifstatements toif/elif/elifstructure for better branch prediction2. Task Service (
_update_task_v2_status):[TaskV2Status.completed, TaskV2Status.failed, TaskV2Status.terminated]with constant tuple_FINAL_STATUSES, eliminating repeated list constructioncreated_at_utcto avoid duplicate.replace(tzinfo=UTC)calls, reducing object creation overheadstarted_at_valto avoid repeated attribute accessPerformance Impact
The optimizations primarily target CPU-bound micro-inefficiencies rather than I/O bottlenecks. Since the function is heavily used in task lifecycle management (called by 6+ different status update functions like
mark_task_v2_as_completed,mark_task_v2_as_failed, etc.), these small per-call improvements accumulate significantly.Test Case Performance
The optimizations show consistent benefits across all test scenarios:
The 6% runtime improvement demonstrates that even small optimizations in frequently called database operations can provide measurable performance gains, especially important for task management systems where these functions are in the critical path of workflow execution.
