📄 84,910% (849.10x) speedup for
ExprNameNameSpace.mapinpy-polars/src/polars/expr/name.py⏱️ Runtime :
2.87 milliseconds→3.37 microseconds(best of43runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization eliminates an unnecessary module indirection in the
wrap_exprfunction. The original code usespl.Expr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr)which requires a dictionary lookup through the reexported modulepl, while the optimized version usesExpr._from_pyexpr(pyexpr)directly sinceExpris already imported.This change removes one level of attribute resolution - instead of looking up
Exprthrough theplmodule 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.
