⚡️ Speed up function __getattr__ by 87%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 87% (0.87x) speedup for __getattr__ in quantecon/rank_nullspace.py

⏱️ Runtime : 801 microseconds → 428 microseconds (best of 194 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization introduces warning deduplication by caching warned attribute names in a module-level __warned_names set. This eliminates the expensive warnings.warn() call on subsequent accesses to the same deprecated attribute.

Key changes:

• Added __warned_names = set() to track which attributes have already triggered warnings
• Wrapped the warning logic in if name not in __warned_names: check
• Added __warned_names.add(name) after emitting each warning

Performance impact:
The line profiler shows that warnings.warn() was the dominant bottleneck in the original code (54.7% of total time, 2.39ms for 1092 calls). In the optimized version, warnings are only emitted 4 times instead of 1092 times, reducing warning-related overhead from ~2.4ms to ~0.02ms.

Test case analysis:
The optimization provides the most benefit for scenarios with repeated access to the same deprecated attributes:

• Single attribute access: 530-730% faster (5.12μs → 619ns)
• Repeated access to same attribute: 697% faster on second call (2.07μs → 260ns)
• Large-scale repeated access shows compound benefits

The first access to each attribute still emits the proper deprecation warning, preserving the intended user experience while dramatically improving performance for repeated usage patterns.
