⚡️ Speed up method GsContentApi.get_contents by 8%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for GsContentApi.get_contents in gs_quant/api/gs/content.py

⏱️ Runtime : 94.4 microseconds → 87.7 microseconds (best of 9 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup through three key optimizations that reduce Python overhead and unnecessary operations:

1. Eliminated redundant list creations in get_contents()
The original code created lists inline during method calls ([offset] if offset else None). The optimized version pre-creates these lists once and reuses them, reducing repeated conditional evaluations and list construction overhead.

2. Optimized sorting in _build_parameters_dict()
The original code used setdefault().extend(sorted(value)) for every parameter, which calls sorted() even on single-item collections. The optimized version checks collection length first - if there's only one item, it skips sorting entirely and just converts to a list, saving significant time for single-value parameters.

3. Replaced string concatenation with join() in _build_query_string()
The original code built query strings through repeated concatenation (query_string += ...), which creates new string objects each time. The optimized version collects all parts in a list first, then uses '&'.join() at the end - a well-known Python performance pattern that's much faster for multiple concatenations.

Test case performance patterns:

• Edge cases with validation errors (invalid limits/offsets): Show 0-7% improvements, demonstrating the optimizations don't add overhead to error paths
• Large-scale scenarios: Benefit most from the join optimization when building longer query strings with many parameters
• Single vs. multi-parameter cases: The conditional sorting optimization particularly helps when most parameters have single values

These optimizations are especially effective for typical API usage patterns where query strings contain multiple single-valued parameters.
