📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for agent_site_fqcn in nvflare/client/ipc/defs.py

⏱️ Runtime : 2.10 milliseconds 1.99 milliseconds (best of 146 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 5% speedup by eliminating a single attribute lookup in the performance-critical FQN.join() method.

Key optimization:

  • Replaced FQN.SEPARATOR.join(path) with ".".join(path) - This removes the overhead of accessing the class attribute FQN.SEPARATOR on every call to join().
  • Added explicit SEPARATOR = "." class constant - Maintains API compatibility while enabling the direct string literal optimization.

Why this works:
In Python, attribute access (FQN.SEPARATOR) involves dictionary lookups in the class namespace, which adds measurable overhead when called frequently. Using the string literal "." directly eliminates this lookup entirely, as the Python interpreter can optimize string literals more efficiently.

Performance characteristics from tests:

  • Consistent improvements across all test cases (0.3% to 21% faster per call)
  • Most effective for operations with special characters in strings (up to 21% faster) and large-scale operations (6-8% faster on batch operations)
  • Particularly beneficial for high-frequency scenarios like the 1000-iteration tests where the cumulative effect of eliminating attribute lookups becomes significant

The line profiler shows the join() function itself improved from 290.2ns to 269.8ns per hit (~7% faster), contributing to the overall 5% speedup in the agent_site_fqcn function.
