⚡️ Speed up method BaseVocab.load_state_dict by 5%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for BaseVocab.load_state_dict in stanza/models/common/vocab.py

⏱️ Runtime : 52.5 microseconds → 49.8 microseconds (best of 720 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization uses local variable binding to cache the global setattr function as _setattr. This eliminates repeated global lookups during the loop iteration.

Key change: Instead of looking up setattr in the global namespace on every loop iteration, the function is bound once to a local variable _setattr and reused.

Why this provides speedup: In Python, local variable access is significantly faster than global variable lookup. Each call to setattr(new, attr, value) requires a global namespace lookup, while _setattr(new, attr, value) uses the faster local variable access mechanism.

Performance impact: The line profiler shows the setattr line improved from 61,376ns total time to 33,204ns total time (46% faster for that specific line), contributing to the overall 5% speedup.

Test case effectiveness: This optimization is most beneficial when state_dict contains many attributes, as seen in the large-scale test cases with 1000+ units. The more iterations in the loop, the more global lookups are avoided, making the optimization particularly effective for loading large vocabulary state dictionaries that are common in NLP models.
