📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for require_jinja2 in django/test/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 324 microseconds 304 microseconds (best of 556 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization extracts the static TEMPLATES list configuration to a module-level constant, eliminating redundant dictionary construction on every function call.

Key changes:

  • Moved the TEMPLATES list from inside the function to module-level as a constant
  • Replaced inline dictionary construction with a reference to the pre-built constant

Why this improves performance:
The original code reconstructs the same 2-element list containing identical dictionary objects every time require_jinja2 is called. Each dictionary construction involves multiple key-value assignments and list allocation. The line profiler shows significant time spent on lines creating the dictionaries (lines with {, string assignments, etc.).

By pre-computing this static configuration once at module load time, each function call now simply references the existing objects rather than recreating them. This eliminates:

  • List allocation (2 elements)
  • Dictionary allocations (2 dictionaries)
  • String key assignments (6 assignments total)
  • Memory allocation overhead for identical objects

The 6% speedup is most pronounced when require_jinja2 is called frequently, as shown in the test cases that decorate 100+ functions. For single-use scenarios, the improvement is minimal, but for repeated decorator applications (common in test suites), the cumulative savings become significant.

The optimization extracts the static `TEMPLATES` list configuration to a module-level constant, eliminating redundant dictionary construction on every function call.

**Key changes:**
- Moved the `TEMPLATES` list from inside the function to module-level as a constant
- Replaced inline dictionary construction with a reference to the pre-built constant

**Why this improves performance:**
The original code reconstructs the same 2-element list containing identical dictionary objects every time `require_jinja2` is called. Each dictionary construction involves multiple key-value assignments and list allocation. The line profiler shows significant time spent on lines creating the dictionaries (lines with `{`, string assignments, etc.).

By pre-computing this static configuration once at module load time, each function call now simply references the existing objects rather than recreating them. This eliminates:
- List allocation (2 elements)
- Dictionary allocations (2 dictionaries) 
- String key assignments (6 assignments total)
- Memory allocation overhead for identical objects

The 6% speedup is most pronounced when `require_jinja2` is called frequently, as shown in the test cases that decorate 100+ functions. For single-use scenarios, the improvement is minimal, but for repeated decorator applications (common in test suites), the cumulative savings become significant.
