⚡️ Speed up method MCPTransportRegistry.get_connector by 18%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 18% (0.18x) speedup for MCPTransportRegistry.get_connector in marimo/_server/ai/mcp/transport.py

⏱️ Runtime : 252 microseconds → 214 microseconds (best of 104 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 17% speedup through two key optimizations:

1. Eliminated Double Dictionary Lookup
The original code used if transport_type not in self._connectors: followed by return self._connectors[transport_type], performing two dictionary lookups for successful cases. The optimized version uses try/except KeyError pattern, requiring only one dictionary lookup in the common case where the key exists.

2. Reduced Attribute Lookups in Constructor
Moved MCPTransportType.STDIO and MCPTransportType.STREAMABLE_HTTP to local variables during dictionary construction, avoiding repeated attribute resolution during initialization.

Performance Analysis:

• Line profiler shows the main improvement: successful lookups now take 354.6ns vs 257.8ns in the original's return statement, but this is offset by eliminating the expensive membership check (333.4ns per hit in original)
• The try statement itself is very fast at 188ns per hit
• Exception handling for invalid keys remains efficient, with slightly faster error generation

Test Results Indicate:

• Successful lookups benefit most: Large-scale tests show 18-32% improvements for valid keys
• Error cases are slightly slower: Invalid key tests show 8-24% slowdown, but this is the uncommon path
• Scalability improved: Performance gains are more pronounced with larger registries, suggesting better algorithmic efficiency

This is a classic Python optimization where EAFP (Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission) outperforms LBYL (Look Before You Leap) for dictionary access patterns, especially when successful lookups are more common than failures.
