📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for
Figure.add_tableinplotly/graph_objs/_figure.py⏱️ Runtime :
42.2 milliseconds→39.4 milliseconds(best of9runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup through two key import and function call optimizations:
1. Import Optimization (Move to Module Level)
The
from plotly.graph_objs import Tableimport was moved from inside theadd_tablemethod to the module's top-level imports. This eliminates the repeated import overhead on everyadd_tablecall. Python's import system has overhead even when modules are cached, and this micro-optimization becomes significant whenadd_tableis called frequently.2. Function Call Optimization (Dictionary Unpacking)
Instead of passing 25+ individual keyword arguments directly to the
Table()constructor, the optimized version builds a local dictionarytable_argsand uses**table_argsunpacking. This reduces Python's function call setup overhead by:Performance Characteristics:
Based on the test results, these optimizations are most effective for:
The optimizations provide consistent performance gains across all test scenarios, with the most significant improvements occurring in high-frequency usage patterns where the reduced import and function call overhead compounds.
