⚡️ Speed up function join_path by 74%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 74% (0.74x) speedup for join_path in graphrag/storage/file_pipeline_storage.py

⏱️ Runtime : 14.2 milliseconds → 8.11 milliseconds (best of 188 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 74% speedup by eliminating redundant Path() object creation. The original code creates three separate Path objects in a single expression: Path(file_path) / Path(file_name).parent / Path(file_name).name, which means Path(file_name) is instantiated twice.

Key changes:

• Reduces Path object creation: Instead of creating Path(file_name) twice, the optimized version creates it once and stores it in file_name_path
• Uses Path constructor with multiple arguments: Path(file_path, file_name_path.parent, file_name_path.name) is more efficient than chaining / operations

Why this is faster:

• Path object instantiation involves parsing and validating the path string, which is expensive when done multiple times
• The Path constructor with multiple arguments directly builds the path internally rather than creating intermediate objects through / operations
• Eliminates the overhead of the / operator overloading calls

Performance characteristics from tests:

• Shows consistent 40-60% improvements across all test cases
• Particularly effective for simple file operations (42-77% faster for basic cases)
• Maintains strong performance even with complex paths, unicode characters, and deeply nested directories (35-40% faster for large scale cases)
• The optimization scales well - even the stress test with 1000 file joins shows 78.7% improvement

This optimization is especially valuable for applications that perform frequent path joining operations, as it reduces both CPU overhead and memory allocation pressure.
