⚡️ Speed up function stream_to by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for stream_to in panel/chat/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 70.8 microseconds → 66.3 microseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces expensive hasattr() checks with direct getattr() calls using None as a default value. This eliminates the need for Python to perform attribute lookups twice per attribute - once for hasattr() and once for the actual getattr().

Key changes:

• Eliminated redundant attribute lookups: Instead of hasattr(obj, "objects") followed by obj.objects, the code now uses getattr_obj(obj, "objects", None) and checks if the result is not None
• Local variable binding: Assigned getattr to a local variable getattr_obj to avoid global name lookups in the tight loop
• Added explicit continue statements: This ensures the loop proceeds to the next iteration immediately after finding a match, slightly improving control flow

Why this is faster:
In Python, hasattr(obj, attr) internally calls getattr(obj, attr) and catches any AttributeError. The original code was essentially doing this work twice - once in hasattr() and again in the actual attribute access. The optimization reduces this to a single getattr() call per attribute check.

Performance characteristics:
The optimization shows consistent improvements across most test cases, with particularly strong gains (10-20% faster) on tests involving nested structures and mixed object types. The speedup is most pronounced when traversing objects with many attribute checks, as evidenced by the better performance on large columns with mixed panes (19.7% faster) and scenarios requiring multiple attribute lookups per iteration.
