📄 33% (0.33x) speedup for _completed_rung_key in optuna/pruners/_successive_halving.py

⏱️ Runtime : 723 microseconds 545 microseconds (best of 233 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces the .format() method with an f-string for string formatting, achieving a 32% speedup (723μs → 545μs).

What changed:

  • "completed_rung_{}".format(rung)f"completed_rung_{rung}"

Why it's faster:
F-strings are significantly more performant than .format() because they're evaluated at compile-time rather than runtime. The .format() method involves:

  1. Method lookup and call overhead
  2. Parsing the format string at runtime
  3. Creating intermediate objects for formatting

F-strings bypass these steps by generating optimized bytecode that directly interpolates values, reducing the per-call overhead from 352.9ns to 248.6ns (30% improvement per call).

Performance characteristics:
The optimization shows consistent gains across all test scenarios:

  • Basic cases: 17-48% faster for simple integers
  • Edge cases: 31-77% faster for extreme values (min/max int, booleans)
  • Large scale: 30-34% faster when called in loops (1000+ iterations)

Impact on workloads:
This function appears to be called frequently (3,441 hits in profiling), suggesting it's in a performance-critical path. Given that it's part of Optuna's successive halving pruner, it's likely called during hyperparameter optimization loops where every microsecond matters. The 32% improvement will compound significantly in optimization workflows that make thousands of pruning decisions.

The optimization is particularly effective for workloads involving many pruning evaluations, as demonstrated by the large-scale test cases showing consistent 30%+ improvements.
