non-unicode-pytest-fail.📄 32% (0.32x) speedup for
get_analyzer_for_fileincodeflash/languages/treesitter_utils.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.10 milliseconds→834 microseconds(best of235runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 31% runtime improvement by introducing
@lru_cacheto cacheTreeSitterAnalyzerinstances based on file extensions, eliminating redundant object creation.Key Optimization
Added LRU caching: The new
_analyzer_for_suffix()helper function uses@lru_cache(maxsize=16)to cache analyzer instances. When the same file extension is encountered multiple times, the cached analyzer is returned instead of creating a newTreeSitterAnalyzerobject.Why This Improves Runtime
Eliminates repeated object instantiation: The original code created a new
TreeSitterAnalyzerevery timeget_analyzer_for_file()was called, even for the same file type. Line profiler shows that in the original version,TreeSitterAnalyzer.__init__was called 1,082 times, consuming 1.15ms. In the optimized version, it's only called 38 times (cache misses), consuming just 55μs - a 95% reduction.Fast dictionary lookup vs object creation: The LRU cache uses a fast dictionary lookup (O(1)) to return cached analyzers. This is significantly faster than the original flow which required:
isinstance()checkself.language,self._parser)Reduced memory allocation overhead: Each new
TreeSitterAnalyzerinstance requires memory allocation and initialization. Reusing cached instances eliminates this overhead for repeated file extensions.Impact on Hot Path Usage
The function references show
get_analyzer_for_file()is called extensively in test discovery code across multiple test files. The function is invoked within loops for processing JavaScript/TypeScript test files, making it a hot path. For example:test_multiple_ts_files_consistent_resultsSince the same file extensions (.ts, .tsx, .js) are processed repeatedly in these loops, the cache hit rate is very high, maximizing the optimization's benefit.
Test Case Performance
The annotated tests confirm this optimization excels when:
test_multiple_ts_files_consistent_resultsshow 33.8% speedupEdge cases with uncommon extensions (.txt, .py) may show slight regression (12-19% slower) due to cache lookup overhead, but these are rare in practice given the function's usage for JavaScript/TypeScript file analysis.
