📄 182% (1.82x) speedup for check_prisma_schema_diff_helper in litellm/proxy/db/check_migration.py

⏱️ Runtime : 4.20 milliseconds 1.49 milliseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 182% speedup through three key performance improvements:

What optimizations were applied:

  1. Generator expression for line processing: Changed from list comprehension [line.strip() for line in diff_output.split("\n") if line.strip()] to generator expression (line.strip() for line in diff_output.split("\n")) with explicit empty line filtering
  2. Local method reference caching: Stored sql_commands.append as a local variable append to avoid repeated attribute lookups in the loop
  3. Batch printing optimization: Replaced individual print() calls in a loop with a single print("\n".join(sql_commands)) call
  4. Tuple vs list for subprocess args: Used tuple instead of list for subprocess arguments

Why these optimizations provide speedup:

  • The generator expression eliminates the upfront memory allocation and processing of all lines, processing them lazily as needed
  • Local method caching removes repeated dot notation lookups (sql_commands.append) inside the tight loop - a classic Python optimization that reduces attribute resolution overhead
  • Batch printing dramatically reduces I/O overhead by making one system call instead of thousands for large outputs
  • Tuple for subprocess args provides marginal improvement due to immutable structure creation being slightly faster

Performance characteristics based on test results:

  • Small inputs (< 50 commands): Modest 1-10% improvements due to reduced overhead
  • Large inputs (500+ commands): Massive 191-269% speedups, primarily from the batch printing optimization that eliminates the expensive loop of individual print calls
  • Mixed workloads: Consistent 2-7% improvements from generator expressions and local method caching

The optimization is particularly effective for database migration scenarios where many SQL commands need to be processed and displayed, making it valuable for CI/CD pipelines and development workflows that frequently check schema differences.

The optimization achieves a **182% speedup** through three key performance improvements:

**What optimizations were applied:**
1. **Generator expression for line processing**: Changed from list comprehension `[line.strip() for line in diff_output.split("\n") if line.strip()]` to generator expression `(line.strip() for line in diff_output.split("\n"))` with explicit empty line filtering
2. **Local method reference caching**: Stored `sql_commands.append` as a local variable `append` to avoid repeated attribute lookups in the loop
3. **Batch printing optimization**: Replaced individual `print()` calls in a loop with a single `print("\n".join(sql_commands))` call
4. **Tuple vs list for subprocess args**: Used tuple instead of list for subprocess arguments

**Why these optimizations provide speedup:**
- The **generator expression** eliminates the upfront memory allocation and processing of all lines, processing them lazily as needed
- **Local method caching** removes repeated dot notation lookups (`sql_commands.append`) inside the tight loop - a classic Python optimization that reduces attribute resolution overhead
- **Batch printing** dramatically reduces I/O overhead by making one system call instead of thousands for large outputs
- **Tuple for subprocess args** provides marginal improvement due to immutable structure creation being slightly faster

**Performance characteristics based on test results:**
- **Small inputs (< 50 commands)**: Modest 1-10% improvements due to reduced overhead
- **Large inputs (500+ commands)**: Massive 191-269% speedups, primarily from the batch printing optimization that eliminates the expensive loop of individual print calls
- **Mixed workloads**: Consistent 2-7% improvements from generator expressions and local method caching

The optimization is particularly effective for database migration scenarios where many SQL commands need to be processed and displayed, making it valuable for CI/CD pipelines and development workflows that frequently check schema differences.
