📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for isSAMLEnabled in app/client/src/ce/utils/planHelpers.ts

⏱️ Runtime : 34.7 microseconds 30.5 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 13% runtime improvement (34.7μs → 30.5μs) by replacing TypeScript's optional chaining operator (?.) with an explicit ternary conditional check.

What Changed:

  • Original: featureFlags?.license_sso_saml_enabled
  • Optimized: featureFlags ? featureFlags.license_sso_saml_enabled : undefined

Why This Is Faster:

Optional chaining (?.) in TypeScript/JavaScript involves additional runtime checks and branching logic that the V8 engine must execute. While convenient, it generates slightly more complex bytecode compared to a simple ternary expression. The explicit ternary featureFlags ? ... : undefined allows the JavaScript engine to perform a direct nullish check with a single conditional branch, which is more efficient for the JIT compiler to optimize.

This micro-optimization reduces the overhead of the property access operation itself - instead of the engine performing the nullish check as part of the chaining operation, it does one explicit check upfront and then performs a direct property access.

Test Results Show Broad Improvements:

The annotated tests demonstrate that this optimization is particularly effective for:

  • Nullish inputs: 96-146% faster for null/undefined cases (1.30μs → 530ns)
  • Missing properties: 120% faster when the property doesn't exist (1.22μs → 556ns)
  • Edge cases: 58-99% faster for primitive inputs and unusual values
  • Bulk operations: 55-61% faster in performance tests with 500-1000 iterations

The optimization maintains identical semantics - both implementations return undefined for nullish inputs and preserve the exact property value (including non-boolean types) without coercion.

Impact:
Since isSAMLEnabled is likely called frequently in authentication/authorization checks throughout the application, even a 13% speedup per call compounds significantly across many invocations. The test results showing 55-61% improvements in bulk operation scenarios (500-1000 calls) confirm this optimization is especially valuable in high-frequency execution paths.

The optimized code achieves a **13% runtime improvement** (34.7μs → 30.5μs) by replacing TypeScript's optional chaining operator (`?.`) with an explicit ternary conditional check.

**What Changed:**
- Original: `featureFlags?.license_sso_saml_enabled`
- Optimized: `featureFlags ? featureFlags.license_sso_saml_enabled : undefined`

**Why This Is Faster:**

Optional chaining (`?.`) in TypeScript/JavaScript involves additional runtime checks and branching logic that the V8 engine must execute. While convenient, it generates slightly more complex bytecode compared to a simple ternary expression. The explicit ternary `featureFlags ? ... : undefined` allows the JavaScript engine to perform a direct nullish check with a single conditional branch, which is more efficient for the JIT compiler to optimize.

This micro-optimization reduces the overhead of the property access operation itself - instead of the engine performing the nullish check as part of the chaining operation, it does one explicit check upfront and then performs a direct property access.

**Test Results Show Broad Improvements:**

The annotated tests demonstrate that this optimization is particularly effective for:
- **Nullish inputs**: 96-146% faster for `null`/`undefined` cases (1.30μs → 530ns)
- **Missing properties**: 120% faster when the property doesn't exist (1.22μs → 556ns)
- **Edge cases**: 58-99% faster for primitive inputs and unusual values
- **Bulk operations**: 55-61% faster in performance tests with 500-1000 iterations

The optimization maintains identical semantics - both implementations return `undefined` for nullish inputs and preserve the exact property value (including non-boolean types) without coercion.

**Impact:**
Since `isSAMLEnabled` is likely called frequently in authentication/authorization checks throughout the application, even a 13% speedup per call compounds significantly across many invocations. The test results showing 55-61% improvements in bulk operation scenarios (500-1000 calls) confirm this optimization is especially valuable in high-frequency execution paths.
