📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for
ParseTableBase.serializeinpython/ccxt/static_dependencies/lark/parsers/lalr_analysis.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.33 milliseconds→1.24 milliseconds(best of216runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup through two key micro-optimizations that reduce overhead in hot code paths:
1. Eliminated Dictionary Double Lookup in
Enumerator.getChanged from manual
if item not in self.enumscheck + assignment tosetdefault(item, len(self.enums)). This avoids the double hash table lookup (once fornot in, once for assignment) when adding new items, which is particularly effective since the profiler shows this method is called 6,030 times with 1,164 new insertions.2. Reduced Attribute Lookups in
ParseTableBase.serializetokens.getas local variabletokens_getto avoid repeated attribute lookupsReduceas local variableReduce_actionfor faster identity comparisonsThe optimization is most effective for large-scale serialization workloads - test results show the biggest gains (14-18% speedup) occur with hundreds of states and tokens, where the attribute lookup overhead compounds. The
serializemethod processes nested loops over states and tokens, making these micro-optimizations meaningful when called frequently.Performance Context: Since this is part of a parser's serialization logic (LALR analysis), these optimizations directly benefit parser table generation and serialization workflows, where
Enumerator.getassigns unique IDs to tokens andserializeprocesses the entire parse table structure.✅ Correctness verification report:
