📄 21% (0.21x) speedup for JiraDataSource.get_issue_types_for_project in backend/python/app/sources/external/jira/jira.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.56 milliseconds 1.28 milliseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 21% performance improvement by eliminating redundant operations in hot paths, specifically targeting dictionary allocations and string formatting overhead.

Key Optimizations Applied:

  1. Empty Dictionary Fast-Path: The most significant optimization is in _as_str_dict(), which now checks for empty dictionaries first and returns a pre-allocated constant _EMPTY_STR_DICT instead of creating new empty dictionaries. Line profiler shows this reduced calls from 1167 to 778 hits, with 375 calls taking the fast empty path.

  2. Eliminated Redundant URL Formatting: Replaced self.base_url + _safe_format_url(rel_path, _path) with direct string concatenation self.base_url + rel_path, since this endpoint never uses path parameters. This eliminates the expensive _safe_format_url function call entirely, which was consuming 18.2% of total time.

  3. Optimized Header Processing: Changed from dict(headers or {}) to headers if headers else _EMPTY_OBJ_DICT, avoiding unnecessary dictionary copying when headers are provided or using a constant when they're not.

  4. Constant Empty Dictionary Reuse: Introduced module-level constants _EMPTY_STR_DICT and _EMPTY_OBJ_DICT that are reused across calls, reducing memory allocations and garbage collection pressure.

Performance Impact by the Numbers:

  • Line profiler shows the URL formatting overhead dropped from 1.41M nanoseconds to just 94K nanoseconds (93% reduction)
  • _as_str_dict function time reduced from 1.57M to 1.35M nanoseconds (14% improvement)
  • Overall function execution time improved from 7.77ms to 5.98ms (23% reduction)

The optimizations are particularly effective for this Jira API endpoint because it consistently uses empty path parameters and often empty headers, making the empty-dictionary fast-paths highly beneficial. These improvements would scale well in high-throughput scenarios where this function is called frequently, as evidenced by the consistent performance gains across all test cases.
