Subject: [PATCH] Optimize EmbedMaxDct.infer_dct_svd
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The optimized code achieves a **109% speedup** by making a single but highly effective change to the SVD computation in the `infer_dct_svd` method.

**Key optimization**: The original code computes the full SVD decomposition with `u, s, v = np.linalg.svd(cv2.dct(block))`, but only uses the singular values `s`. The optimized version uses `s = np.linalg.svd(dct_block, compute_uv=False)` to compute only the singular values, skipping the expensive computation of the U and V matrices.

**Why this leads to speedup**: SVD is computationally expensive, with the full decomposition requiring O(n³) operations. When `compute_uv=False`, numpy skips computing the orthogonal matrices U and V, significantly reducing both computation time and memory allocation. The line profiler shows the SVD operation time dropped from 25.1ms (90.6% of total time) to 11.5ms (79% of total time).

**Performance impact**: The optimization is particularly effective for larger blocks, as evidenced by the test results:
- Small blocks (4x4): ~20% faster
- Medium blocks (8x8): ~40-50% faster
- Large blocks (32x32, 64x64): ~90-190% faster

The speedup scales with block size because the computational savings of skipping U and V matrix computation become more pronounced as the matrix dimensions increase. This makes the optimization especially valuable for image processing workloads that process larger DCT blocks or perform batch processing of multiple blocks.

The optimization preserves all original behavior and return values while eliminating unnecessary computation, making it a pure performance win with no functional trade-offs.
