⚡️ Speed up function from_proto_submit by 8%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for from_proto_submit in chromadb/proto/convert.py

⏱️ Runtime : 867 microseconds → 805 microseconds (best of 109 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup through two key micro-optimizations that reduce Python's attribute lookup overhead:

1. Module-level constant caching: Pre-fetches frequently accessed protobuf enum values (chroma_pb.ScalarEncoding.FLOAT32, chroma_pb.Operation.ADD, etc.) into module-level variables. This eliminates repeated attribute traversal through the chroma_pb module during hot path execution.

2. Dictionary-based operation mapping: Replaces the chain of elif statements in from_proto_operation with a single dictionary lookup. While both approaches are O(1) for small constant sets, dictionary access is consistently faster than multiple equality comparisons and branching.

3. Direct tuple returns: Eliminates intermediate variable assignments in from_proto_vector by returning the numpy array and encoding directly, reducing local variable overhead.

The line profiler shows the most significant gains in from_proto_operation (from 107μs to 56μs total time) and from_proto_vector (from 312μs to 130μs). These optimizations are particularly effective for high-frequency conversion scenarios where protobuf messages are processed in batches, as evidenced by the test results showing 30-50% improvements on basic conversion cases and maintaining performance even on large-scale operations.
