📄 3,899% (38.99x) speedup for get_frontend_download_info in cognee/api/v1/ui/ui.py

⏱️ Runtime : 25.5 milliseconds 637 microseconds (best of 255 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The key optimization is adding @lru_cache(maxsize=1) to the get_cognee_version() function. This provides massive performance gains because:

What was optimized:

  • Added functools.lru_cache(maxsize=1) decorator to cache the result of get_cognee_version()
  • Minor code reorganization (extracted pyproject_path variable)

Why this creates a 3898% speedup:
The profiler shows get_cognee_version() was called 2043+ times, with each call performing expensive file system operations:

  • Path construction using Path(__file__).parent.parent
  • File opening and reading of pyproject.toml
  • Line-by-line parsing to find the version string

With caching, these expensive operations happen only once. Subsequent calls return the cached result in ~1μs instead of ~41μs per call.

Performance characteristics:

  • First call: Same cost as original (~40μs) to populate cache
  • Subsequent calls: Near-instant cache lookup (~1μs)
  • Memory trade-off: Minimal - stores one string result

Test case benefits:
All test cases show 3500-4500% improvements because they involve repeated calls to get_frontend_download_info(), which internally calls the now-cached get_cognee_version(). The optimization is especially effective for:

  • Large-scale tests with 1000+ iterations (12.1ms → 302μs)
  • Any scenario with multiple version lookups in the same process
