📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for
BookStackDataSource.update_content_permissionsinbackend/python/app/sources/external/bookstack/bookstack.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.44 milliseconds→1.28 milliseconds(best of291runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves an 11% runtime speedup through two key optimizations that target the most time-consuming operations identified in the line profiler:
1. URL Construction Optimization (Major Impact)
url = self.base_url + "/api/content-permissions/{content_type}/{content_id}".format(content_type=content_type, content_id=content_id)took 287,299ns (7.5% of total time)url = f"{self.base_url}/api/content-permissions/{content_type}/{content_id}"takes only 158,076ns (4.5% of total time).format()method calls, eliminating the overhead of method dispatch and dictionary lookups for named parameters2. Header Dictionary Copy Optimization
headers = dict(self.http.headers)creates a new dict by calling the dict constructorheaders = self.http.headers.copy()uses the built-in copy method which is more efficient for existing dictionaries.copy()is implemented in C and avoids the overhead of the dict constructor and iterator protocol3. Conditional URL Formatting (HTTPClient)
.format()whenpath_paramsis empty, avoiding unnecessary string operationsPerformance Profile: These optimizations are most effective for high-throughput scenarios where the function is called repeatedly (as shown in the large-scale and throughput test cases), since they reduce per-call overhead in string operations and dictionary manipulations. The 0.3% throughput improvement demonstrates consistent gains across concurrent operations, making this optimization valuable for API-heavy workloads.
