📄 15% (0.15x) speedup for digifinex.parse_margin_modification in python/ccxt/digifinex.py

⏱️ Runtime : 6.80 milliseconds 5.89 milliseconds (best of 23 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 15% speedup by eliminating expensive function calls in hot paths, specifically optimizing the safe_string and safe_integer methods that are heavily used in data parsing operations.

Key optimizations:

  1. Inlined key existence checks: The original code called Exchange.key_exists() for every dictionary/list access, which added significant overhead (1394ns per hit in safe_string). The optimized version directly uses isinstance() checks and key in dictionary operations, reducing per-hit time to 232-310ns - a 3-4x improvement.

  2. Fast-path type checking in safe_integer: Added early returns for already-integer values and optimized float-to-int conversion, avoiding unnecessary int(float(value)) calls when the value is already the correct type.

  3. Eliminated redundant function calls: In parse_margin_modification, moved repeated method calls (safe_symbol, safe_number) to variables to avoid recomputation during dictionary construction.

  4. Minor guard improvement: Added a safety check name and name[0] != '_' to prevent potential edge cases in the camelCase conversion loop.

Performance impact by test type:

  • Basic parsing operations: 9-13% faster across all test cases
  • Missing field scenarios: Up to 18-23% faster (benefits from faster null/empty checks)
  • Large-scale operations: 14-15% consistent improvement, making this optimization particularly valuable for high-throughput parsing scenarios

The optimizations are especially effective for CCXT's use case where parse_margin_modification and similar parsing methods are called frequently with dictionary data from API responses, making the reduced overhead in dictionary access patterns highly beneficial.
