📄 45% (0.45x) speedup for _Distplot.make_hist in plotly/figure_factory/_distplot.py

⏱️ Runtime : 971 microseconds 667 microseconds (best of 530 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 45% speedup by eliminating repeated attribute lookups and function calls within the loop.

Key optimizations:

  1. Local variable caching: The optimized version extracts all self.* attributes into local variables before the loop (trace_number, hist_data, histnorm, etc.). This eliminates repeated attribute access overhead during each iteration.

  2. Pre-computed color array length: Instead of calling len(self.colors) on every iteration for the modulo operation, it's computed once as n_colors and reused.

  3. Dictionary literals over dict() constructor: Replaced dict() calls with dictionary literals {}, which are faster to construct in Python.

Why this works:

  • Python attribute access (self.attribute) has overhead compared to local variable access
  • The len() function call was being repeated 2,000+ times in the profiler results
  • Dictionary literals are optimized at the bytecode level compared to dict() constructor calls

Performance characteristics:

  • Small datasets (1-3 traces): 10-20% improvement
  • Medium datasets (12 traces): ~40% improvement
  • Large datasets (1000 traces): 45-52% improvement

The optimization scales particularly well with the number of traces since the attribute lookup overhead compounds with each iteration. All test cases show consistent improvements, with the largest gains on scenarios with many traces where the loop iterations amplify the per-iteration savings.

The optimized code achieves a **45% speedup** by eliminating repeated attribute lookups and function calls within the loop. 

**Key optimizations:**

1. **Local variable caching**: The optimized version extracts all `self.*` attributes into local variables before the loop (`trace_number`, `hist_data`, `histnorm`, etc.). This eliminates repeated attribute access overhead during each iteration.

2. **Pre-computed color array length**: Instead of calling `len(self.colors)` on every iteration for the modulo operation, it's computed once as `n_colors` and reused.

3. **Dictionary literals over dict() constructor**: Replaced `dict()` calls with dictionary literals `{}`, which are faster to construct in Python.

**Why this works:**
- Python attribute access (`self.attribute`) has overhead compared to local variable access
- The `len()` function call was being repeated 2,000+ times in the profiler results
- Dictionary literals are optimized at the bytecode level compared to `dict()` constructor calls

**Performance characteristics:**
- **Small datasets** (1-3 traces): 10-20% improvement
- **Medium datasets** (12 traces): ~40% improvement  
- **Large datasets** (1000 traces): 45-52% improvement

The optimization scales particularly well with the number of traces since the attribute lookup overhead compounds with each iteration. All test cases show consistent improvements, with the largest gains on scenarios with many traces where the loop iterations amplify the per-iteration savings.
