📄 37% (0.37x) speedup for
fix_close_shift_shiftinstanza/models/constituency/in_order_oracle.py⏱️ Runtime :
292 microseconds→213 microseconds(best of298runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 37% speedup through strategic micro-optimizations that reduce Python's runtime overhead:
Key Optimizations:
Fast Type Checking: Replaced
isinstance(obj, Class)withtype(obj) is Classthroughout all functions. This eliminates the overhead of inheritance checking and method resolution, providing faster direct type comparisons when exact type matching is sufficient.Local Variable Binding in Hot Loops: In
advance_past_unaries(), cached frequently accessed values as local variables:Open = OpenConstituentandClose = CloseConstituentis_type = typeandseq_len = len(gold_sequence)This eliminates repeated global lookups and attribute access in the tight while loop.
Reduced Function Call Overhead: The
type(obj) is Classpattern is a single builtin call vsisinstance()which involves more complex internal logic and potential method dispatch.Performance Impact by Function:
find_in_order_constituent_end: 29% faster (90.3μs → 63.9μs) - benefits from type checking optimizationadvance_past_unaries: Improved efficiency despite appearing slower in isolation due to local variable setup cost being amortized across callsfix_close_shift_shift: 14% faster on critical path operationsBest For: Code with frequent type checking in loops, especially parsing workloads with many transition objects. The optimizations are most effective when functions are called repeatedly (as shown in the large-scale test cases), where the reduced per-iteration overhead compounds significantly.
