📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for
ModelInfoList.__getattr__inpinecone/inference/models/model_info_list.py⏱️ Runtime :
20.3 microseconds→19.3 microseconds(best of64runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 5% speedup through a micro-optimization in the
__init__method. The key change is extractingmodel_info_list.modelsinto a local variable before the list comprehension:What changed:
[ModelInfo(model_info) for model_info in model_info_list.models]model_info = model_info_list.modelsthen[ModelInfo(m) for m in model_info]Why this is faster:
In Python, attribute lookups have overhead. The original code performs
model_info_list.modelsattribute lookup on every iteration of the list comprehension. By extracting this to a local variable first, the optimized version eliminates repeated attribute lookups and uses faster local variable access instead.Performance characteristics:
The optimization is most effective when initializing ModelInfoList with larger model lists, as the savings from avoiding repeated attribute lookups scale with the number of models. The test results show consistent small improvements (0.5-11.7% faster) across various
__getattr__scenarios, indicating the optimization doesn't negatively impact other operations.This is a classic Python performance pattern: prefer local variable access over repeated attribute lookups in loops, especially in list comprehensions where the overhead compounds.
