📄 296% (2.96x) speedup for
fetch_all_usersinsrc/asynchrony/various.py⏱️ Runtime :
509 milliseconds→332 milliseconds(best of190runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces sequential async execution with concurrent execution using
asyncio.gather(), delivering a 53% runtime improvement and 296% throughput increase.Key Change: The original code awaited each
fetch_user()call sequentially in a loop, causing total execution time to be the sum of all individual fetch operations. The optimized version usesasyncio.gather(*[fetch_user(user_id) for user_id in user_ids])to execute all fetch operations concurrently.Why This Is Faster: In the original implementation, each 0.0001-second
asyncio.sleep()call must complete before the next one begins, creating cumulative delay. Withasyncio.gather(), all coroutines start simultaneously and the total execution time becomes approximately equal to the longest single operation rather than the sum of all operations. The line profiler shows the optimized version eliminates the loop overhead entirely - the original had 3,265 loop iterations taking 96.3% of execution time, while the optimized version has a single gather operation.Concurrency Benefits: For I/O-bound operations like database fetches, network requests, or any async operations with waiting periods, this pattern maximizes parallelism. When fetching N users, instead of N × 0.0001 seconds, execution takes roughly 0.0001 seconds total.
Test Case Performance: The optimization excels particularly with larger datasets - tests with 100+ user IDs show dramatic improvements since the benefit scales with the number of concurrent operations. Throughput tests demonstrate the optimization handles high-volume concurrent workloads much better, as evidenced by the 296% throughput increase from 5,472 to 21,660 operations per second.
The optimization maintains identical output ordering and handles all edge cases (empty lists, duplicates, negative IDs) while dramatically improving performance for any workload involving multiple async I/O operations.
