📄 27% (0.27x) speedup for
JiraDataSource.get_comment_propertyinbackend/python/app/sources/external/jira/jira.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.36 milliseconds→1.07 milliseconds(best of5runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization achieves a 27% speedup by implementing a fast-path optimization in the
_as_str_dicthelper function that eliminates unnecessary dictionary allocations and conversions.Key Optimization: Smart Dictionary Conversion
The optimized
_as_str_dictfunction adds an early-exit check that returns the original dictionary directly if all keys and values are already strings, avoiding the expensive dictionary comprehension:Performance Impact Analysis
Looking at the line profiler results, this optimization significantly reduces the time spent in
_as_str_dict:The function is called 3 times per request (for headers, path_params, and query_params), making this optimization particularly impactful. In the profiled workload, 1,711 out of 1,824 calls (93.8%) took the fast path, demonstrating that string-only dictionaries are the common case in HTTP request processing.
Why This Works
HTTP request processing typically involves dictionaries that are already string-typed (URLs, headers, query parameters). The optimization leverages this pattern by checking types once upfront rather than converting every key-value pair through
str()and_serialize_value()calls.Test Case Performance
The annotated tests show this optimization is most effective for:
Runtime vs Throughput
While individual request runtime improved 27% (1.36ms → 1.07ms), throughput remained constant at 4,920 ops/second, suggesting the bottleneck in concurrent scenarios may be elsewhere (likely network I/O or async event loop overhead).
