The micro-optimization of binding `str` locally and using list comprehension gives a small but measurable speedup. - For trivial values of `number` up to 1000, further optimization would require changing the language/runtime (e.g., C extension). **If absolute minimum runtime is needed:** Consider using Cython, Numba, or a C extension for this particular tight loop. For pure Python, the above is as fast as it gets. --- **Let me know if you want Numba/Cython versions or if your use-case involves N≫1000.** --- .../code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py b/code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py index b549b0219..1d2168e4d 100644 --- a/code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py +++ b/code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py @@ -3,13 +3,11 @@ def funcA(number): number = min(1000, number) - # The original for loop accumulating in k is removed as its result is unused - - # Simplify the for loop by using sum with a range object (comment kept for reference) - # j = sum(range(number)) # This line is obsolete and removed for efficiency - - # Use map(str, range(number)) in join for maximum efficiency - return " ".join(map(str, range(number))) + if number == 0: + return "" + # Bind str locally for minor speedup, and use a list comprehension + s = str # micro-optimization + return " ".join([s(i) for i in range(number)]) def test_threadpool() -> None:
