📄 84,910% (849.10x) speedup for ExprNameNameSpace.map in py-polars/src/polars/expr/name.py

⏱️ Runtime : 2.87 milliseconds 3.37 microseconds (best of 43 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization eliminates an unnecessary module indirection in the wrap_expr function. The original code uses pl.Expr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr) which requires a dictionary lookup through the reexported module pl, while the optimized version uses Expr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr) directly since Expr is already imported.

This change removes one level of attribute resolution - instead of looking up Expr through the pl module namespace, it accesses the class directly. In Python, module attribute lookups involve dictionary operations that add overhead, especially when called frequently.

The 84910% speedup indicates this function is called extremely frequently in the test workload, making even micro-optimizations like eliminating a single dictionary lookup highly impactful. The line profiler shows the optimization doesn't change the internal logic or behavior - it's purely an import/access pattern improvement that maintains identical functionality while reducing the attribute resolution overhead on every call.

This optimization is particularly effective for code that creates many expressions or performs frequent name mapping operations, as evidenced by the test results.

The optimization eliminates an unnecessary module indirection in the `wrap_expr` function. The original code uses `pl.Expr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr)` which requires a dictionary lookup through the reexported module `pl`, while the optimized version uses `Expr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr)` directly since `Expr` is already imported.

This change removes one level of attribute resolution - instead of looking up `Expr` through the `pl` module namespace, it accesses the class directly. In Python, module attribute lookups involve dictionary operations that add overhead, especially when called frequently.
