📄 17% (0.17x) speedup for URL.__eq__ in starlette/datastructures.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.22 microseconds 1.04 microseconds (best of 179 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code improves the __eq__ method by avoiding unnecessary string conversions when comparing two URL instances.

Key optimization: Instead of always calling str() on both objects (str(self) == str(other)), the optimized version first checks if other is already a URL instance using isinstance(other, URL). If it is, it directly compares the internal _url attributes (self._url == other._url), bypassing the __str__ method call overhead.

Why this is faster: The original code always converts both objects to strings, even when comparing two URL objects that already store their string representation in _url. The str() conversion involves method lookup and call overhead. The optimized version eliminates this when both operands are URL instances, which is a common case in web frameworks.

Performance characteristics: The 17% speedup is most effective when comparing URL objects with each other (as shown in many test cases like test_eq_identical_urls, test_eq_url_with_scope, etc.). For comparisons with strings or other types, the performance remains identical since it falls back to the original str() conversion logic.

The optimization maintains exact behavioral compatibility while reducing overhead in the most common comparison scenario.
