📄 16% (0.16x) speedup for
ModelHash._get_hashlibininvokeai/backend/model_hash/model_hash.py⏱️ Runtime :
35.5 microseconds→30.5 microseconds(best of48runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 16% speedup through two key I/O optimizations in the
hashlib_hasherfunction:Buffer Size Increase: The buffer size was increased from 128KB to 512KB. Larger buffers reduce the number of system calls needed to read large files, which is particularly beneficial for model files that can be hundreds of megabytes or gigabytes in size. The 4x buffer increase allows reading more data per I/O operation, reducing overhead from kernel transitions.
Method Call Optimization: The code extracts
f.readintoandhasher.updateto local variables before the loop, avoiding repeated attribute lookups during iteration. This micro-optimization eliminates the overhead of Python's attribute resolution mechanism on each loop iteration.Loop Structure Improvement: The
while n := f.readinto(mv)walrus operator pattern was replaced with a more explicitwhile Trueloop with a break condition. This avoids the overhead of the walrus operator assignment and makes the zero-check more direct.These optimizations are especially effective for the model hashing use case, as evidenced by the test results showing consistent 6-29% improvements across various file operations. The larger buffer size is safe for modern systems with adequate RAM and significantly benefits when processing large model files. The method call caching provides consistent small gains across all file sizes, from small configuration files to large model weights.
The optimizations maintain identical functionality and error handling while focusing purely on I/O efficiency - critical for a hashing operation that processes potentially multi-gigabyte model files.
