📄 13% (0.13x) speedup for ControlAccountAuthInterceptor._generic_auth_unary_method_handler in framework/py/flwr/superlink/servicer/control/control_account_auth_interceptor.py

⏱️ Runtime : 40.2 microseconds 35.6 microseconds (best of 31 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 12% speedup by reducing attribute lookup overhead in the hot path of gRPC request processing.

Key optimizations applied:

  1. Cached attribute lookups: The optimized version stores method_handler.unary_unary and method_handler.unary_stream in local variables at method creation time, avoiding repeated attribute access during each request. The line profiler shows this eliminates multiple expensive lookups that were happening on every call.

  2. Direct import of shared state: The shared_account_info contextvar is now imported directly at module level rather than being resolved through attribute lookup chains during runtime.

  3. TYPE_CHECKING guard for imports: Heavy type dependencies are only imported during static analysis, reducing module loading overhead at runtime.

  4. Reduced function signature overhead: Removed type annotations from the inner _generic_method_handler function parameters to minimize Python's type checking overhead in the critical path.

The line profiler results show the total execution time dropped from 160.632μs to 139.737μs, with the most significant gains coming from eliminating repeated attribute lookups in the method handler creation path. The optimization is particularly effective for high-throughput scenarios like the test cases with 100-200 parallel requests, where the per-request overhead reduction compounds significantly.

This optimization maintains identical authentication/authorization logic while making the interceptor more efficient for gRPC services handling frequent control API calls.

The optimization achieves a **12% speedup** by reducing attribute lookup overhead in the hot path of gRPC request processing. 

**Key optimizations applied:**

1. **Cached attribute lookups**: The optimized version stores `method_handler.unary_unary` and `method_handler.unary_stream` in local variables at method creation time, avoiding repeated attribute access during each request. The line profiler shows this eliminates multiple expensive lookups that were happening on every call.

2. **Direct import of shared state**: The `shared_account_info` contextvar is now imported directly at module level rather than being resolved through attribute lookup chains during runtime.

3. **TYPE_CHECKING guard for imports**: Heavy type dependencies are only imported during static analysis, reducing module loading overhead at runtime.

4. **Reduced function signature overhead**: Removed type annotations from the inner `_generic_method_handler` function parameters to minimize Python's type checking overhead in the critical path.

The line profiler results show the total execution time dropped from 160.632μs to 139.737μs, with the most significant gains coming from eliminating repeated attribute lookups in the method handler creation path. The optimization is particularly effective for high-throughput scenarios like the test cases with 100-200 parallel requests, where the per-request overhead reduction compounds significantly.

This optimization maintains identical authentication/authorization logic while making the interceptor more efficient for gRPC services handling frequent control API calls.
