⚡️ Speed up function cartesian_to_axial by 23%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 23% (0.23x) speedup for cartesian_to_axial in src/bokeh/util/hex.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.68 milliseconds → 1.37 milliseconds (best of 116 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 22% speedup through several key performance improvements:

1. Eliminated Redundant Math Calculations

• Precomputes math.sqrt(3.0) once and reuses it in both HEX_FLAT and HEX_POINTY arrays, avoiding duplicate square root calculations on every function call
• Line profiler shows the constant creation overhead reduced from 139ms to 128ms total

2. Avoided Unnecessary Arithmetic Operations

• Guards against aspect_scale=1 cases to skip multiplication/division when the scale factor has no effect
• When aspect_scale=1, uses simpler x/size instead of x/size * 1 or y/size / 1
• This optimization is particularly effective for the common case where aspect scaling isn't needed

3. Improved NumPy Rounding Performance

• Replaced np.round() with np.rint(), which is often faster for large arrays
• Line profiler shows rounding operations reduced from 883ms to 241ms total - a 73% improvement

4. Optimized Memory Usage

• Uses np.asarray(..., dtype=int) instead of .astype(int), which avoids unnecessary copying when the array is already the correct dtype
• Reduces memory allocation overhead in the return statement

Test Results Analysis:
The optimizations show consistent performance gains across all test scenarios:

• Scalar inputs: 40-45% faster (most benefit from reduced overhead)
• Small arrays: 15-25% faster
• Large arrays (1000+ elements): 14-17% faster (np.rint improvement shines here)
• aspect_scale != 1 cases: 7-12% faster (conditional logic reduces unnecessary operations)

The performance gains are most pronounced for single-point calculations and cases with default aspect scaling, making this optimization particularly valuable for common usage patterns.
