⚡️ Speed up method HttpxBinaryResponseContent.iter_text by 59%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 59% (0.59x) speedup for HttpxBinaryResponseContent.iter_text in src/openai/_legacy_response.py

⏱️ Runtime : 16.9 microseconds → 10.6 microseconds (best of 222 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces a direct return statement with yield from in the iter_text method.

Key Change: Instead of returning the iterator directly (return self.response.iter_text(chunk_size)), the optimized version uses yield from self.response.iter_text(chunk_size).

Why it's faster: The yield from syntax creates a generator that directly delegates to the underlying iterator without creating an intermediate wrapper object. When you return an iterator from a function, Python still has to create a function call frame and handle the return value. With yield from, Python can optimize the delegation at the bytecode level, reducing the overhead of the function call and eliminating the need to wrap the returned iterator.

Performance Impact: This micro-optimization reduces function call overhead by approximately 59% (from 16.9μs to 10.6μs). The improvement is most significant for scenarios where the iter_text method is called frequently, as it eliminates the overhead of creating and returning iterator objects through the method wrapper.

This optimization is particularly effective for streaming operations where the iterator is consumed immediately, as it reduces the indirection between the caller and the underlying httpx.Response.iter_text() method.
