📄 26% (0.26x) speedup for AsyncCallInstrumenter.visit_ClassDef in codeflash/code_utils/instrument_existing_tests.py

⏱️ Runtime : 17.4 milliseconds 13.9 milliseconds (best of 141 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 25% speedup by eliminating redundant AST node creation inside the loop.

Key change: The timeout_decorator AST node is now created once before the loop instead of being recreated for every test method that needs it. In the original code, this AST structure was built 3,411 times during profiling, consuming significant time in object allocation and initialization.

Why this works: AST nodes are immutable once created, so the same timeout_decorator instance can be safely appended to multiple method decorator lists. This eliminates:

  • Repeated ast.Call() constructor calls
  • Redundant ast.Name() and ast.Constant() object creation
  • Multiple attribute assignments for the same decorator structure

Performance characteristics: The optimization is most effective for large test classes with many test methods (showing 24-33% improvements in tests with 500+ methods), while having minimal impact on classes with few or no test methods. This makes it particularly valuable for comprehensive test suites where classes commonly contain dozens of test methods.

The line profiler shows the AST node creation operations dropped from ~3,400 hits to just ~25 hits, directly correlating with the observed speedup.

The optimization achieves a 25% speedup by **eliminating redundant AST node creation** inside the loop. 

**Key change:** The `timeout_decorator` AST node is now created once before the loop instead of being recreated for every test method that needs it. In the original code, this AST structure was built 3,411 times during profiling, consuming significant time in object allocation and initialization.

**Why this works:** AST nodes are immutable once created, so the same `timeout_decorator` instance can be safely appended to multiple method decorator lists. This eliminates:
- Repeated `ast.Call()` constructor calls
- Redundant `ast.Name()` and `ast.Constant()` object creation
- Multiple attribute assignments for the same decorator structure

**Performance characteristics:** The optimization is most effective for large test classes with many test methods (showing 24-33% improvements in tests with 500+ methods), while having minimal impact on classes with few or no test methods. This makes it particularly valuable for comprehensive test suites where classes commonly contain dozens of test methods.

The line profiler shows the AST node creation operations dropped from ~3,400 hits to just ~25 hits, directly correlating with the observed speedup.
