📄 19% (0.19x) speedup for
aggregate_resultsings_quant/risk/core.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.15 milliseconds→969 microseconds(best of13runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves an 18% speedup through several targeted micro-optimizations in the
aggregate_resultsfunction:Key Performance Optimizations:
Reduced attribute lookups: The original code repeatedly accessed
result.error,result.unit, andresult.risk_keymultiple times per iteration. The optimized version caches these in local variables (err = result.error,res_unit = result.unit,rk = result.risk_key), eliminating redundant attribute access overhead.Optimized type checking: Instead of calling
type(results[0])repeatedly in the loop, the optimized version cachesfirst_type = type(results[0])once and usestype(result) is not first_typefor exact type comparison, which is faster thanisinstance()when checking for identical types.Streamlined early exit: Changed
if not len(results)toif not results, eliminating the unnecessarylen()call on an already-converted tuple.Improved list access: Replaced
next(iter(results))with directresults[0]access, avoiding iterator creation overhead.More efficient DataFrame construction: In
aggregate_risk, the list building uses a cachedappendmethod reference andignore_index=Trueinpd.concatto reduce index processing overhead.Test Case Performance: The optimizations show consistent 10-25% improvements across all test scenarios, with particularly strong gains on large lists (1000 items: 19.7-23.0% faster) where the reduced per-iteration overhead compounds significantly. The optimizations are especially effective for high-volume aggregation workloads typical in financial risk calculations.
The changes maintain identical behavior and error handling while reducing computational overhead through smarter variable reuse and streamlined operations.
