📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for
BookStackDataSource.export_chapter_pdfinbackend/python/app/sources/external/bookstack/bookstack.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.24 milliseconds→1.15 milliseconds(best of306runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization achieves a 7% runtime improvement through three key micro-optimizations:
1. Conditional Header Merging in HTTPClient
{**self.headers, **request.headers}even whenrequest.headersis emptyrequest.headershas content, otherwise reusesself.headersdirectly2. Efficient kwargs Construction
**kwargsunpacking in dict literal creationrequest_kwargs.update(kwargs)only when kwargs exist3. Direct Header Reference in BookStackDataSource
dict(self.http.headers)self.http.headersdirectly (safe since headers are immutable after initialization)4. F-string URL Formatting
.format()method callf"{self.base_url}/api/chapters/{id}/export/pdf"Performance Profile Analysis:
These optimizations target the hot path of HTTP request preparation, making them particularly valuable for applications making many API calls with consistent header patterns.
