⚡️ Speed up method Plotly._plotly_json_wrapper by 6%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for Plotly._plotly_json_wrapper in panel/pane/plotly.py

⏱️ Runtime : 54.9 milliseconds → 51.7 milliseconds (best of 11 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 6% speedup through two key optimizations:

1. Lazy trace copying in _convert_trace: Instead of immediately copying the trace dictionary with dict(trace), the optimization delays this expensive operation until a datetime field is actually found. This eliminates unnecessary copying for traces containing no datetime data - a common case that shows up to 15% improvements in basic tests.

2. Optimized 2D datetime array handling: For the special case of 2D numpy datetime arrays with shape (N, 1), the code now uses vectorized operations: first flattening to 1D, converting to datetime objects in bulk, then converting to strings and reshaping back. This delivers dramatic improvements - up to 270% faster for large 2D datetime arrays as shown in the test results.

Performance characteristics by test case:

• Small traces without datetime data: Modest 2-15% improvements due to avoided copying
• 2D datetime arrays: Massive 25-270% speedups from vectorized processing, especially beneficial for large datasets
• Regular datetime conversions: Minimal impact (within 1-4% variance)
• Large-scale operations: Consistent 1-10% improvements across scenarios with many traces or shapes

The optimizations are particularly effective for visualization workloads with either no datetime data (avoiding unnecessary work) or large 2D datetime arrays (benefiting from vectorization), while maintaining identical behavior for all other cases.
