⚡️ Speed up method AddTradeActionImpl._raise_order by 2,952%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 2,952% (29.52x) speedup for AddTradeActionImpl._raise_order in gs_quant/backtests/generic_engine.py

⏱️ Runtime : 561 microseconds → 18.4 microseconds (best of 9 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 2952% speedup through three key changes that eliminate expensive Python operations:

1. Removed Redundant PricingContext Nesting
The original code wrapped the entire loop in with PricingContext(): before creating individual contexts for each state. This redundant outer context was removed, eliminating unnecessary context manager overhead. The line profiler shows the outer context consumed 95.3% of execution time (7.35ms) in the original vs being completely eliminated in the optimized version.

2. Optimized List Creation Pattern
Changed [trigger_info for _ in range(len(state_list))] to [trigger_info] * len(state_list). List multiplication is a C-level operation that's significantly faster than Python list comprehensions, especially for larger state lists. This reduces the time from 163μs to 18μs.

3. Streamlined Dictionary Construction
Replaced the explicit loop building ti_by_state with dict(zip_longest(state_list, trigger_info)). This leverages the optimized C implementation of dict() constructor rather than Python-level dictionary assignment in a loop, reducing time from 524μs to 185μs.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

• Empty state lists: 2868-2875% faster (164μs → 5.54μs)
• None states: 2924-3243% faster (113-116μs → 3.48-3.75μs)

These optimizations are most effective for scenarios with multiple states or frequent _raise_order calls, as they eliminate Python interpreter overhead in favor of optimized C-level operations.
