📄 786% (7.86x) speedup for fetch_all_users in src/asynchrony/various.py

⏱️ Runtime : 302 milliseconds 34.1 milliseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces sequential async execution with concurrent execution using asyncio.gather().

Key Change:

  • Original: Fetches users one-by-one in a loop with await fetch_user(user_id), blocking until each completes
  • Optimized: Uses asyncio.gather(*(fetch_user(user_id) for user_id in user_ids)) to launch all fetch operations concurrently

Why This Creates a Speedup:
The original code suffers from "false serialization" - it waits for each 0.0001-second database call to complete before starting the next one. With N users, total time is roughly N × 0.0001 seconds. The optimized version launches all fetch operations simultaneously, so total time becomes approximately max(fetch_times) ≈ 0.0001 seconds regardless of list size.

Performance Impact:

  • Runtime improvement: 785% speedup (302ms → 34.1ms)
  • Throughput improvement: 558% increase (1,862 → 12,250 operations/second)

The line profiler shows the optimization eliminates the expensive sequential loop overhead - the original fetch_all_users spent 96.3% of time waiting on individual fetch calls, while the optimized version completes in a single concurrent operation.

Test Case Performance:
The optimization excels with larger datasets - test cases with 100-500 users show the most dramatic improvements since they maximize the concurrency benefit. Small lists (1-10 users) still benefit but see smaller gains due to the fixed asyncio.sleep overhead.

This pattern is particularly valuable for I/O-bound operations like database queries, API calls, or file operations where the underlying operations can run independently.
