📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for
ArangoService.get_documentinbackend/python/app/services/graph_db/arango/arango.py⏱️ Runtime :
9.78 milliseconds→8.55 milliseconds(best of174runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 14% runtime improvement and 3% throughput improvement through several key optimizations:
Primary Optimizations:
Reduced attribute lookups: Caching
self.dbin a local variabledbeliminates repeatedself.attribute access, which is measurably faster in Python's execution model.Simplified exception handling: The original code used nested
try-exceptblocks, creating two separate exception handling paths. The optimized version consolidates this into a singletry-except, reducing Python's exception handling overhead.Eliminated redundant database connectivity checks: The original code checked
if not self.dbinside the outer try block, then accessedself.dbagain for collection operations. The optimized version performs the check once on the cached local variable.Performance Impact Analysis:
From the line profiler results, the most expensive operations are:
collection.get(document_key)(38-40% of total time)self.db.collection(collection_name)(~20% of total time)The optimization reduces overhead around these expensive operations without changing their core behavior.
Test Case Performance:
The optimizations are particularly effective for:
The optimized version maintains identical behavior - same return values, same error logging patterns, same exception handling - while executing more efficiently through reduced Python interpreter overhead.
