📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for
detect_parametersinxarray/backends/plugins.py⏱️ Runtime :
5.23 milliseconds→4.86 milliseconds(best of25runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization achieves a 7% speedup by eliminating repeated tuple lookups and localizing method references within the loop:
Key Optimizations:
Set-based lookup optimization: Replaced the tuple
(inspect.Parameter.VAR_KEYWORD, inspect.Parameter.VAR_POSITIONAL)with a precomputed setforbidden_kinds. Set membership checking (kind in forbidden_kinds) is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple membership, eliminating repeated tuple creation and linear searches.Method localization: Moved
result.appendlookup outside the loop (append = result.append), avoiding repeated attribute access during iteration. This is a classic Python micro-optimization that reduces bytecode overhead.Reduced attribute access: Added
kind = param.kindto cache the parameter kind, avoiding repeated.kindattribute lookups in the conditional check.Performance Impact:
The optimizations are most effective for functions with many parameters, as evidenced by the test results showing 9-10% improvements for large parameter lists (500-1000 parameters). For smaller functions, the gains are modest (1-3%) but consistent.
Context Analysis:
Based on
function_references, this function is called fromset_missing_parameters()which processes backend entrypoints. Since this runs during plugin initialization and processes multiple backend functions, even small per-call improvements compound meaningfully. The optimization maintains identical behavior while reducing CPU cycles per parameter processed.The changes are particularly valuable for xarray's plugin system where backend introspection happens frequently during dataset operations.
