⚡️ Speed up function _check_wildcard_routing by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for _check_wildcard_routing in litellm/proxy/auth/model_checks.py

⏱️ Runtime : 760 microseconds → 713 microseconds (best of 185 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization simplifies the function by eliminating the unnecessary conditional branching. Instead of using an if statement to check "*" in model and then returning True or False in separate branches, the optimized version directly returns the boolean result of "*" in model.

Key changes:

• Removed the if "*" in model: conditional check and explicit return True/return False statements
• Replaced with a single return "*" in model statement that directly returns the boolean evaluation

Why this improves performance:

1. Reduced branching overhead: Eliminates the conditional jump instructions that the CPU must evaluate and potentially mispredict
2. Fewer Python bytecode operations: The optimized version generates fewer bytecode instructions, reducing interpreter overhead
3. Direct boolean evaluation: Python's in operator already returns a boolean, so wrapping it in conditional logic adds unnecessary work

The line profiler shows the optimization reduces total execution time from 2.21ms to 1.20ms (46% reduction in profiled time), with the per-hit cost dropping from ~250ns to ~242ns.

Test case performance patterns:

• Best improvements (5-12% faster): Simple model names without wildcards, strings with special characters, and large-scale batch processing
• Minimal impact (0-3%): Short strings with wildcards where the * is found early
• Consistent gains: The optimization shows consistent improvements across edge cases, unicode strings, and long strings, making it universally beneficial regardless of input characteristics
