📄 31% (0.31x) speedup for BenchmarkDetail.to_dict in codeflash/models/models.py

⏱️ Runtime : 581 microseconds → 445 microseconds (best of 233 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

This optimization achieves a 30% runtime improvement (from 581μs to 445μs) by replacing manual dictionary construction with direct access to the Pydantic dataclass's __dict__ attribute.

Key Performance Gains:

1. Eliminates Repeated Attribute Lookups: The original code performed 5 separate self.attribute lookups (one per field), each requiring Python's attribute resolution mechanism. The line profiler shows each lookup taking 200-250ns. By using self.__dict__, we access all fields in a single operation.

2. Reduces Dictionary Construction Overhead: The original approach created a new dictionary literal with explicit key-value pairs, which requires the interpreter to build the dictionary incrementally. The optimized version directly copies an existing dictionary (already maintained by Pydantic), which is a faster C-level operation.

3. Leverages Pydantic's Internal Optimization: Pydantic dataclasses automatically maintain a __dict__ attribute with the exact field mappings we need. Using this pre-existing structure eliminates redundant work.

Performance Characteristics from Tests:

• Small objects (single calls): 3-47% faster per invocation, with edge cases like infinity values showing up to 46.9% improvement
• Repeated conversions: The test_large_scale_multiple_conversions test shows 31-32% speedup when calling to_dict() 1000 times, demonstrating consistent performance gains
• All data types preserved: Tests confirm that special float values (NaN, inf, -inf), Unicode strings, and edge cases maintain correctness

Trade-off: The optimization relies on Pydantic's __dict__ containing exactly the fields we want to expose. This is safe for this dataclass since all fields are explicitly defined and should be serialized, but it couples the serialization to Pydantic's internal representation rather than being explicitly declarative about which fields to include.

This optimization is particularly valuable if BenchmarkDetail.to_dict() is called frequently during benchmark result aggregation or reporting workflows.
