⚡️ Speed up function _can_object_call_vector_stores by 3,113%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 3,113% (31.13x) speedup for _can_object_call_vector_stores in litellm/proxy/auth/auth_checks.py

⏱️ Runtime : 10.0 milliseconds → 311 microseconds (best of 27 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 31x speedup through three key improvements:

1. Combined early exit conditions - The original code checked object_permissions is None and object_permissions.vector_stores is None separately. The optimized version combines these into a single condition, reducing redundant attribute access and improving branch prediction.

2. Local variable caching - By storing object_permissions.vector_stores in the local variable vec_stores, the optimization eliminates repeated attribute lookups during the permission checking loop, which is faster than accessing object attributes repeatedly.

3. Adaptive data structure optimization - The most significant improvement converts the allowed vector stores list to a set when both the permission list is large (>16 items) and multiple stores are being checked. This transforms O(N) list membership checks into O(1) set lookups.

Performance impact by test case:

• Small permission lists (≤16 items): Modest improvements of 5-20% due to reduced attribute access
• Large permission lists (1000+ items): Dramatic improvements of 4000%+ due to set-based lookups eliminating the quadratic behavior of list membership checks

Real-world impact: Based on the function reference, this optimization is called from vector_store_access_check(), which runs during API request authorization. The adaptive threshold ensures small, typical permission lists aren't penalized by set conversion overhead, while large enterprise deployments with extensive permission lists see massive performance gains. This is particularly valuable in high-throughput proxy scenarios where authorization checks are in the critical path of every vector store operation.
