📄 168% (1.68x) speedup for
fetch_all_usersinsrc/asynchrony/various.py⏱️ Runtime :
275 milliseconds→127 milliseconds(best of228runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces sequential async execution with concurrent execution using
asyncio.gather(), delivering a 116% runtime speedup and 168% throughput improvement.Key Change: Instead of awaiting each
fetch_usercall sequentially in a loop, the optimized version usesasyncio.gather(*(fetch_user(user_id) for user_id in user_ids))to execute all database fetches concurrently.Why This Works: The original code suffered from additive latency - each 0.0001 second sleep accumulated sequentially. With 20+ user IDs, this meant ~0.002+ seconds of pure waiting time. The optimized version schedules all fetches simultaneously, so the total execution time becomes roughly equal to a single fetch operation rather than the sum of all fetches.
Performance Evidence: The line profiler shows the original code spent 96.3% of its time waiting in the sequential
await fetch_user()calls. The optimized version consolidates this into a single concurrent operation, eliminating the sequential bottleneck entirely.Throughput Impact: The 168% throughput improvement means the system can process 2.7x more user fetch operations per second. This is particularly valuable for workloads that need to fetch multiple users frequently, as the concurrent approach scales much better with batch size.
Test Results: The optimization excels across all test scenarios, with the most dramatic improvements in large-scale tests (100+ user IDs) and concurrent workload tests where the batching effect compounds the benefits. The concurrent execution maintains all correctness guarantees including order preservation and error handling.
