This optimization achieves a **15% runtime improvement** (11.9ms → 10.3ms) by eliminating redundant regex compilation overhead and reducing unnecessary string operations during React component analysis. ## Key Performance Improvements ### 1. Module-Level Regex Compilation **What changed:** Three frequently-used regex patterns (`HOOK_PATTERN`, `JSX_COMPONENT_RE`, `CONTEXT_RE`) are now compiled once at module import time instead of being recompiled on every function call. **Why it's faster:** Python's `re.compile()` has measurable overhead. In the original code, these patterns were compiled inside functions like `_extract_hook_usages()` and `_extract_child_components()`, meaning every component analyzed triggered fresh compilation. The line profiler shows this overhead (~300-320μs) in the original version. By hoisting to module level, this cost is paid once at import rather than repeatedly per component. **Impact on workloads:** The test results show this benefits all scenarios: - Simple cases: 4.5-21% faster (basic hooks/children detection) - Complex cases: 21.8% faster (1000 hooks + 1000 child components) The improvement scales with the number of components analyzed in a session, making it particularly valuable for analyzing large React codebases where thousands of components might be processed. ### 2. Optimized Parenthesis Matching in `_extract_hook_usages()` **What changed:** Replaced character-by-character iteration (`for i, char in enumerate(rest_of_line)`) with direct index-based jumps using `str.find()` to locate only opening and closing parentheses. **Why it's faster:** The original approach examined every character in the hook call body (up to 48,193 iterations in the profiler). The optimized version uses `find()` to jump directly between parentheses, touching only ~7,165 positions (85% fewer iterations). Python's built-in `str.find()` is implemented in C and is significantly faster than Python-level loops. **Line profiler evidence:** - Original: 32.4ms total time in `_extract_hook_usages()`, with 25.4% (8.2ms) spent in the `enumerate()` loop - Optimized: 18.8ms total time (42% faster), with the `while` loop now completing in ~6.8ms ### 3. Reduced String Slicing **What changed:** Instead of creating `rest_of_line` substring via `component_source[match.end():]`, the optimized version tracks position with `pos` variable and slices only when needed for the final dependency array extraction. **Why it's faster:** String slicing in Python creates new string objects. By deferring and minimizing slicing, we reduce memory allocation and copying overhead, particularly noticeable with large component source strings. ## Test Case Performance The annotated tests demonstrate the optimization excels across different scenarios: - **Empty/minimal components:** 14-21% faster (reduces overhead when little work is needed) - **Typical components:** 7-10% faster (3-4 hooks, several children) - **Large-scale processing:** 21.8% faster (1000 hooks, demonstrating how the optimization scales) The consistent improvements across test cases indicate this optimization benefits both hot-path repeated analysis and bulk processing scenarios typical in static analysis tools for React codebases.
I replaced the per-match Match object creation (finditer + group(1)) with re.findall to get the group strings directly and removed matches in bulk via set operations. This reduces object allocations and Python-level loop overhead, giving measurable speed and memory improvements on large inputs while preserving behavior and output ordering.

Notes:
Last updated: 2026-02-20 |
Refined the optimization to focus on the core performance improvement while maximizing code simplicity: 1. **Removed module-level `_JSX_NODE_TYPES` constant**: This micro-optimization added complexity (module-level state) without meaningful performance benefit. The original tuple is small and Python handles small tuple membership checks efficiently. 2. **Removed `reversed(children)` and associated comment**: For a boolean "contains" check, the traversal order is irrelevant. Removing this simplifies the code and eliminates the overhead of reversing children lists. 3. **Kept original variable name `node`**: Reusing `node` in the loop maintains consistency with the original code and reduces diff size. 4. **Removed unnecessary comment**: The simplified iterative approach is self-explanatory and doesn't require additional documentation. The refined code preserves the key optimization (iterative DFS avoiding recursion and generator overhead) while being more readable and closer to the original structure. The performance benefit remains intact as the core algorithmic improvement is preserved.
