📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for _sphinx_type_seq in src/bokeh/core/property/container.py

⏱️ Runtime : 775 microseconds 728 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization introduces memoization caching to the property_link function, which eliminates redundant string formatting operations for objects of the same class.

Key Optimization:

  • Added _property_link_cache dictionary to store pre-computed string results per class type
  • The function now checks the cache first before performing expensive string formatting
  • Only computes the Sphinx documentation link string once per unique class type

Why This Works:
The original code performed string formatting (f":class:~bokeh.core.properties.{obj.class.name}\\ ") on every call, even for objects of the same class. String formatting with f-strings and attribute access (obj.__class__.__name__) has measurable overhead when called frequently. The cache eliminates this redundant work by storing the result after the first computation.

Performance Impact:

  • Line profiler shows the optimization reduces property_link calls from 328ns to 214ns per hit on average
  • Cache hits (19,299 out of 19,507 calls) return in ~190ns vs ~387ns for cache misses
  • Only 208 unique classes required string formatting, meaning 98.9% of calls benefited from caching
  • Overall 6% speedup demonstrates the cumulative effect of avoiding repeated string operations

Test Case Performance:
The optimization performs best with repeated calls using the same types - test cases show 10-30% improvements for scenarios with common built-in types (int, str, float) and custom classes. Large-scale tests with 1000+ iterations show consistent 8-16% improvements, validating the caching strategy's effectiveness for high-volume documentation generation workloads.

The optimization introduces **memoization caching** to the `property_link` function, which eliminates redundant string formatting operations for objects of the same class.

**Key Optimization:**
- Added `_property_link_cache` dictionary to store pre-computed string results per class type
- The function now checks the cache first before performing expensive string formatting
- Only computes the Sphinx documentation link string once per unique class type

**Why This Works:**
The original code performed string formatting (`f":class:`~bokeh.core.properties.{obj.__class__.__name__}`\\ "`) on every call, even for objects of the same class. String formatting with f-strings and attribute access (`obj.__class__.__name__`) has measurable overhead when called frequently. The cache eliminates this redundant work by storing the result after the first computation.

**Performance Impact:**
- Line profiler shows the optimization reduces `property_link` calls from 328ns to 214ns per hit on average
- Cache hits (19,299 out of 19,507 calls) return in ~190ns vs ~387ns for cache misses
- Only 208 unique classes required string formatting, meaning 98.9% of calls benefited from caching
- Overall 6% speedup demonstrates the cumulative effect of avoiding repeated string operations

**Test Case Performance:**
The optimization performs best with repeated calls using the same types - test cases show 10-30% improvements for scenarios with common built-in types (int, str, float) and custom classes. Large-scale tests with 1000+ iterations show consistent 8-16% improvements, validating the caching strategy's effectiveness for high-volume documentation generation workloads.
