📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for
bit_getinaerospike_helpers/operations/bitwise_operations.py⏱️ Runtime :
134 microseconds→124 microseconds(best of5runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization achieves an 8% runtime improvement by caching the constant
aerospike.OP_BIT_GETat module level as_OP_BIT_GET. This eliminates repeated attribute lookups on theaerospikemodule object during function execution.Key optimization:
aerospike.OP_BIT_GETin_OP_BIT_GETat import time, each call tobit_get()now performs a simple local variable lookup instead of an attribute access on theaerospikemodule object.Why this improves performance:
In Python, attribute lookups (like
aerospike.OP_BIT_GET) involve dictionary lookups in the module's__dict__, which is slower than accessing a module-level name that gets resolved via the LOAD_GLOBAL bytecode instruction with optimized caching. The line profiler data confirms this: the per-hit time decreased from 839.1ns to 825.2ns (1.7% per-call improvement), which compounds over the 4,659 hits to yield the overall 8% speedup.Test results validation:
The annotated tests show consistent improvements across most test cases:
This optimization is particularly valuable for high-frequency dictionary construction operations where the function is called repeatedly, as demonstrated by the batch test showing consistent gains across hundreds of iterations.
