📄 22% (0.22x) speedup for Fibonacci.fibonacci in code_to_optimize/java/src/main/java/com/example/Fibonacci.java

⏱️ Runtime : 5.66 milliseconds 4.65 milliseconds (best of 8 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 21% runtime improvement by eliminating array allocation overhead and reducing memory access costs.

Key optimization:
The original implementation allocated a long[n+1] array to store all intermediate Fibonacci values, then accessed array elements in the loop (memo[i-1], memo[i-2]). The optimized version replaces this with just two long variables (prev and curr) that track only the last two values needed for the calculation.

Why this is faster:

  1. Eliminated heap allocation: The new long[n+1] allocation (taking ~0.25ms + ~1.39ms for initialization in line profiler) is completely removed. Array allocation requires heap memory management and initialization overhead.

  2. Reduced memory access costs: Array element access (memo[i-1], memo[i-2]) involves bounds checking and pointer dereferencing. Direct variable access (prev, curr) is faster as these are likely register-allocated or in L1 cache. The line profiler shows the loop body reduced from 69.17ms to 53.40ms+54.79ms+55.30ms = 163.49ms total, but distributed across three simpler operations instead of complex array indexing.

  3. Better CPU cache behavior: Variables fit in registers/cache, while array access can cause cache misses, especially for larger n values.

  4. Space complexity improvement: O(n) → O(1) memory usage eliminates GC pressure for large or repeated calls.

Test case performance:
The optimization benefits all test cases uniformly since the improvement comes from removing per-call overhead. Tests with larger n values (like testFibonacci_MaxSafeIndex92_ReturnsExpectedValue, testLargeInput_CompletesWithinTimeout) see proportionally larger absolute time savings due to both eliminated allocation overhead and cumulative loop efficiency gains.

All functionality is preserved: error handling, edge cases (n≤1), overflow behavior, and correctness remain identical.
