📄 15% (0.15x) speedup for Struct_mallinfo2.__str__ in invokeai/backend/model_manager/util/libc_util.py

⏱️ Runtime : 7.46 microseconds 6.47 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 15% performance improvement through three key optimizations:

1. Eliminated repeated division operations: The original code computed 2**30 (GB divisor) 6 times per call. The optimized version precomputes this as GB = 2**30 once, reducing redundant exponential calculations.

2. Cached attribute lookups: Instead of repeatedly accessing self.arena, self.ordblks, etc. within f-string expressions, the optimized version reads each attribute once and stores it in local variables. This eliminates repeated attribute resolution overhead.

3. Replaced string concatenation with list joining: The original code used repeated += operations on strings, which creates new string objects each time due to Python's string immutability. The optimized version builds a list of strings and uses ''.join(lines) at the end, which is significantly more memory-efficient and faster.

The line profiler results show the optimization's effectiveness - while the original spent significant time on repeated divisions and string concatenations (lines with 700-800+ nanoseconds per hit), the optimized version distributes work more evenly with lower per-line overhead.

This optimization is particularly valuable for the memory management utility fields this struct represents, as __str__ is likely called frequently for debugging and monitoring purposes. The test results demonstrate consistent improvements across all scenarios - from simple zero-value cases to complex large-scale instances with maximum values - making this a robust optimization that maintains correctness while improving performance across diverse workloads.

The optimized code achieves a 15% performance improvement through three key optimizations:

**1. Eliminated repeated division operations**: The original code computed `2**30` (GB divisor) 6 times per call. The optimized version precomputes this as `GB = 2**30` once, reducing redundant exponential calculations.

**2. Cached attribute lookups**: Instead of repeatedly accessing `self.arena`, `self.ordblks`, etc. within f-string expressions, the optimized version reads each attribute once and stores it in local variables. This eliminates repeated attribute resolution overhead.

**3. Replaced string concatenation with list joining**: The original code used repeated `+=` operations on strings, which creates new string objects each time due to Python's string immutability. The optimized version builds a list of strings and uses `''.join(lines)` at the end, which is significantly more memory-efficient and faster.

The line profiler results show the optimization's effectiveness - while the original spent significant time on repeated divisions and string concatenations (lines with 700-800+ nanoseconds per hit), the optimized version distributes work more evenly with lower per-line overhead.

This optimization is particularly valuable for the memory management utility fields this struct represents, as `__str__` is likely called frequently for debugging and monitoring purposes. The test results demonstrate consistent improvements across all scenarios - from simple zero-value cases to complex large-scale instances with maximum values - making this a robust optimization that maintains correctness while improving performance across diverse workloads.
