📄 34% (0.34x) speedup for create_tile_pool in invokeai/backend/image_util/infill_methods/tile.py

⏱️ Runtime : 5.06 milliseconds 3.77 milliseconds (best of 157 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 34% speedup by replacing nested loops with list comprehensions and eliminating redundant operations. The key optimizations are:

What was optimized:

  • Replaced nested loops with list comprehensions: The original code used explicit for loops with repeated tiles.append() calls. The optimized version uses list comprehensions with tiles.extend(), which is more efficient in Python.
  • Eliminated redundant array slicing: The original code created the tile slice first (tile = img_array[y:y+tile_height, x:x+tile_width]), then checked the alpha channel. The optimized version checks the alpha channel directly on the slice without storing an intermediate variable when possible.
  • Moved channel count check outside loops: Instead of checking img_array.shape[2] for every iteration, it's checked once and the appropriate list comprehension is executed.

Why this is faster:

  • List comprehensions are faster than explicit loops in Python due to reduced Python bytecode overhead and better memory allocation patterns
  • Fewer function calls: tiles.extend() with a list comprehension makes one call instead of many tiles.append() calls
  • Reduced array operations: For RGB images (3 channels), tiles are collected without any alpha checking overhead
  • Better memory allocation: List comprehensions allow Python to pre-allocate memory more efficiently

Performance characteristics from tests:

  • Small images: Show modest improvements (2-8% slower to 5% faster) due to setup overhead of list comprehensions
  • Large images: Show significant improvements (40-65% faster) where the reduced loop overhead and better memory allocation patterns dominate
  • RGBA images: Benefit from vectorized alpha channel checking and reduced redundant slicing operations

The optimization is particularly effective for larger tile pools and images with many tiles, making it valuable for image processing workloads that process high-resolution images or generate many tiles.

The optimized code achieves a 34% speedup by replacing nested loops with list comprehensions and eliminating redundant operations. The key optimizations are:

**What was optimized:**
- **Replaced nested loops with list comprehensions**: The original code used explicit `for` loops with repeated `tiles.append()` calls. The optimized version uses list comprehensions with `tiles.extend()`, which is more efficient in Python.
- **Eliminated redundant array slicing**: The original code created the tile slice first (`tile = img_array[y:y+tile_height, x:x+tile_width]`), then checked the alpha channel. The optimized version checks the alpha channel directly on the slice without storing an intermediate variable when possible.
- **Moved channel count check outside loops**: Instead of checking `img_array.shape[2]` for every iteration, it's checked once and the appropriate list comprehension is executed.

**Why this is faster:**
- **List comprehensions are faster than explicit loops** in Python due to reduced Python bytecode overhead and better memory allocation patterns
- **Fewer function calls**: `tiles.extend()` with a list comprehension makes one call instead of many `tiles.append()` calls
- **Reduced array operations**: For RGB images (3 channels), tiles are collected without any alpha checking overhead
- **Better memory allocation**: List comprehensions allow Python to pre-allocate memory more efficiently

**Performance characteristics from tests:**
- **Small images**: Show modest improvements (2-8% slower to 5% faster) due to setup overhead of list comprehensions
- **Large images**: Show significant improvements (40-65% faster) where the reduced loop overhead and better memory allocation patterns dominate
- **RGBA images**: Benefit from vectorized alpha channel checking and reduced redundant slicing operations

The optimization is particularly effective for larger tile pools and images with many tiles, making it valuable for image processing workloads that process high-resolution images or generate many tiles.
