📄 19% (0.19x) speedup for build_invocation_context in invokeai/app/services/shared/invocation_context.py

⏱️ Runtime : 440 microseconds 369 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization reduces function call overhead by eliminating repeated keyword argument creation when instantiating multiple interface objects.

Key Changes:

  • Pre-creates a tuple args = (services, data) containing the two most commonly used arguments
  • Uses argument unpacking (*args) instead of explicit keyword arguments (services=services, data=data) for 6 out of 8 interface constructors
  • Maintains the same functionality while reducing the overhead of creating keyword argument dictionaries

Performance Impact:
The 19% speedup (440μs → 369μs) comes from Python's internal optimization of positional argument passing. When using *args, Python avoids the overhead of:

  1. Creating keyword argument dictionaries for each function call
  2. Performing keyword-to-positional argument mapping in the called functions
  3. Hash table lookups for parameter names

Test Case Performance:
The optimization shows consistent 12-27% improvements across all test scenarios, with particularly strong gains in:

  • Large-scale tests with many attributes (20%+ speedup)
  • Edge cases with unusual data structures (17-22% speedup)
  • Basic creation patterns (12-18% speedup)

This micro-optimization is especially valuable since build_invocation_context appears to be a factory function that creates complex object hierarchies, making the cumulative effect of reducing per-call overhead significant across the 8 interface instantiations.
