📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for BookStackDataSource.export_chapter_pdf in backend/python/app/sources/external/bookstack/bookstack.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.24 milliseconds 1.15 milliseconds (best of 306 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 7% runtime improvement through three key micro-optimizations:

1. Conditional Header Merging in HTTPClient

  • Original: Always creates new dict with {**self.headers, **request.headers} even when request.headers is empty
  • Optimized: Only merges when request.headers has content, otherwise reuses self.headers directly
  • Impact: Eliminates unnecessary dictionary creation and copying operations in the common case where requests have no custom headers

2. Efficient kwargs Construction

  • Original: Uses **kwargs unpacking in dict literal creation
  • Optimized: Conditionally calls request_kwargs.update(kwargs) only when kwargs exist
  • Impact: Avoids unpacking overhead when no additional arguments are passed

3. Direct Header Reference in BookStackDataSource

  • Original: Creates new dict copy with dict(self.http.headers)
  • Optimized: Uses self.http.headers directly (safe since headers are immutable after initialization)
  • Impact: Eliminates dictionary copying overhead entirely

4. F-string URL Formatting

  • Original: String concatenation with .format() method call
  • Optimized: Direct f-string interpolation f"{self.base_url}/api/chapters/{id}/export/pdf"
  • Impact: Slightly faster string formatting

Performance Profile Analysis:

  • Line profiler shows the most significant gains in URL construction (9.0% → 5.4% of total time) and header handling (4.4% → 3.3%)
  • The optimizations are most effective for high-frequency request scenarios where these micro-optimizations compound across many calls
  • Test cases with concurrent requests (50-100 operations) benefit most from reduced allocation overhead

These optimizations target the hot path of HTTP request preparation, making them particularly valuable for applications making many API calls with consistent header patterns.
