📄 332% (3.32x) speedup for Figure.select_coloraxes in plotly/graph_objs/_figure.py

⏱️ Runtime : 181 microseconds 42.0 microseconds (best of 6 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization significantly improves the performance of the _select_layout_subplots_by_prefix method by eliminating inefficient filtering chains and reducing redundant operations.

Key optimizations applied:

  1. Pre-filtering before sorting: Instead of sorting all layout keys and then filtering, the code now first filters to only keys starting with the prefix and having non-None values (filtered_keys). This reduces the input size to _natural_sort_strings by ~73% (from all layout keys to just relevant ones).

  2. Eliminated redundant filter chain: The original code used functools.reduce to chain 4 lambda functions that filtered the same keys multiple times. The optimized version does a single pass with explicit conditional logic, avoiding the overhead of multiple filter() calls and lambda invocations.

  3. Reduced dictionary lookups: The original code called container_to_row_col.get() for every key in every filter, even when row/col filtering wasn't needed. The optimized version only builds and uses the mapping when container_to_row_col is not None.

  4. Eliminated duplicate list creation: The original code converted self.layout to a list twice - once for sorting and once for the final list comprehension. The optimized version works with the pre-filtered keys throughout.

Performance impact by test case:

  • Basic selection operations (no row/col filtering) see the greatest benefit as they avoid the expensive filter chain entirely
  • Large-scale operations benefit most from the reduced sorting overhead and single-pass filtering
  • Row/col filtering cases still benefit from pre-filtering before the mapping operations

The line profiler shows the optimization reduced the most expensive operations from 99% of runtime (sorting + list comprehension) to 96% (pre-filtering + sorting), with a 3x+ speedup overall.

# Function to test
def select_coloraxes(fig, selector=None, row=None, col=None):
    """
    Select coloraxis subplot objects from a particular subplot cell
    and/or coloraxis subplot objects that satisfy custom selection
    criteria.

    Parameters
    ----------
    fig: dict
        The figure dict containing 'layout' with coloraxis objects.
    selector: dict, function, or None (default None)
        Dict to use as selection criteria.
        coloraxis objects will be selected if they contain
        properties corresponding to all of the dictionary's keys, with
        values that exactly match the supplied values. If None
        (the default), all coloraxis objects are selected. If a
        function, it must be a function accepting a single argument and
        returning a boolean. The function will be called on each
        coloraxis and those for which the function returned True will
        be in the selection.
    row, col: int or None (default None)
        Subplot row and column index of coloraxis objects to select.
        If None (the default), all coloraxis objects are selected.
        If specified, fig must have '_grid_ref' mapping coloraxis keys to (row, col).
    Returns
    -------
    generator
        Generator that iterates through all of the coloraxis
        objects that satisfy all of the specified selection criteria
