⚡️ Speed up method Figure.add_parcats by 5%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for Figure.add_parcats in plotly/graph_objs/_figure.py

⏱️ Runtime : 84.9 milliseconds → 80.5 milliseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 5% speedup through two key changes:

1. Import Optimization: The Parcats import is moved from inside the add_parcats method to the module level (from plotly.graph_objs import Parcats). This eliminates the repeated import overhead that occurred every time add_parcats was called, which the line profiler shows took ~15ms per call in the original version.

2. Direct Method Call: Both add_trace and the final call in add_parcats now use BaseFigure.add_trace() directly instead of super().add_trace() or self.add_trace(). This bypasses Python's method resolution overhead by avoiding the dynamic lookup through the inheritance chain.

Why this works: Python's super() and method resolution require runtime lookups to determine which method to call in the inheritance hierarchy. By calling BaseFigure.add_trace() directly, we eliminate this lookup cost. The import optimization is particularly effective for methods called frequently, as seen in test cases like "many traces" (19.6% faster) and scenarios with multiple add_parcats calls.

Best performance gains: The optimizations show the most benefit in scenarios with multiple trace additions, error handling paths (where early exits avoid the full method overhead), and repeated calls to add_parcats. Single-call scenarios see smaller but consistent improvements around 5-20% faster.
