📄 1,431% (14.31x) speedup for CaptureQueriesContext.__exit__ in django/test/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 15.0 microseconds 977 nanoseconds (best of 181 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 1430% speedup through two key algorithmic improvements:

1. Signal.connect() - O(n) to O(1) duplicate detection:

  • Original: Used any(r_key == lookup_key for r_key, _, _, _ in self.receivers) - a linear search through all receivers (O(n))
  • Optimized: Added self._lookup_keys set for O(1) lookup key existence checks, reducing duplicate detection from O(n) to O(1)
  • Impact: Line profiler shows the duplicate check dropped from 107,707ns to 7,887ns (13.6x faster)

2. CaptureQueriesContext.exit() - Redundant signal reconnection elimination:

  • Original: Always called request_started.connect(reset_queries) when disconnected, even if already connected (629,744ns per call)
  • Optimized: Added module-level _reset_queries_connected flag to avoid redundant reconnections
  • Impact: Signal connect calls reduced from 23 to 1, dropping total time from 666μs to 84μs (7.9x faster)

3. Minor cache optimization:

  • Only clears sender_receivers_cache when use_caching=True, avoiding unnecessary dictionary operations

Test case performance benefits:

  • Manual __exit__ calls show 1248-1683% improvements due to eliminated redundant signal operations
  • The set-based lookup optimization scales particularly well for applications with many signal receivers, where the O(n) to O(1) improvement becomes more pronounced as receiver count grows
