📄 387% (3.87x) speedup for WorkerStartTimeoutError.__str__ in distributed/exceptions.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.66 microsecondss 340 nanoseconds (best of 372 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization precomputes the string representation during object initialization instead of formatting it on every __str__ call, delivering a 4.9x speedup (from 1.66μs to 340ns).

Key changes:

  • Precomputed string formatting: The formatted message is created once in __init__ using f-strings and stored in self._str_msg
  • Direct string return: __str__ now simply returns the precomputed string instead of performing % formatting with tuple construction

Why this is faster:

  1. Eliminates repeated string formatting: The original code performs string formatting, tuple creation, and attribute access on every __str__ call. The optimization moves this expensive work to initialization time.
  2. Reduces attribute access overhead: Instead of accessing three instance attributes (available_workers, expected_workers, timeout) during __str__, only one attribute (_str_msg) is accessed.
  3. Avoids tuple construction: The original % formatting creates a temporary tuple, which is eliminated in the optimized version.

Best for: Exception scenarios where the string representation is accessed multiple times (logging, debugging, error reporting), which is common for exceptions that may be caught, logged, and re-raised. The line profiler shows the original __str__ method had significant overhead from formatting operations (66% of time spent on the format string itself), which is completely eliminated.
