📄 47% (0.47x) speedup for HttpxBinaryResponseContent.iter_raw in src/openai/_legacy_response.py

⏱️ Runtime : 16.9 microseconds 11.5 microseconds (best of 74 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces a direct return statement with yield from, transforming the method from returning an iterator to being a generator function itself.

Key Change:

  • return self.response.iter_raw(chunk_size)yield from self.response.iter_raw(chunk_size)

Why it's faster:
The original code creates a wrapper that simply returns the underlying iterator, requiring Python to maintain an extra layer of indirection when the iterator is consumed. The optimized version uses yield from, which creates a generator that directly delegates to the underlying iterator without the overhead of wrapping and returning it.

This eliminates the function call overhead and iterator wrapping cost. The line profiler shows the optimization reduces hits from 46 to 3, indicating less work per iteration - the generator delegation is more efficient than the return-based approach.

Performance characteristics:
This optimization is most effective for scenarios involving iterator consumption, particularly when the iterator is immediately consumed (as shown in the test cases that convert to lists). The 46% speedup demonstrates that even simple iterator delegation benefits significantly from using yield from instead of return for iterator passthrough.

The optimization replaces a direct `return` statement with `yield from`, transforming the method from returning an iterator to being a generator function itself.
