⚡️ Speed up method TranslationCleaner.clean by 12%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for TranslationCleaner.clean in invokeai/frontend/web/scripts/clean_translations.py

⏱️ Runtime : 277 milliseconds → 247 milliseconds (best of 16 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup through three key optimizations:

1. Stack-based tree traversal in _get_keys - Replaced recursive function calls with an iterative stack approach, eliminating Python's function call overhead. This is particularly effective for nested translation dictionaries, reducing execution time from 12.2ms to 9.9ms (~18% faster for this function).

2. Precompiled regex patterns in _search_codebase - Instead of compiling regex patterns for every file search, patterns are now compiled once per key at the start of the function. This eliminates redundant regex compilation overhead, which was a significant bottleneck when searching the same key across multiple files.

3. Cached file system traversal - The expensive os.walk("../src") operation is now performed only once and cached in _src_files. Previously, the directory was walked for every single translation key being checked. With thousands of keys to verify, this change dramatically reduces I/O operations.

Performance impact analysis:

• The optimization is most effective for large translation files with many keys, as shown by the test results where larger dictionaries see 15-18% improvements
• Nested dictionaries benefit significantly from the stack-based traversal
• Repeated key searches see major gains from the cached file list and precompiled patterns
• Small dictionaries show minimal improvement, but no regression

The optimizations maintain identical behavior while being particularly beneficial for the typical use case of cleaning large translation files with hundreds or thousands of keys across multiple source files.
