⚡️ Speed up function _construct_field by 12%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for _construct_field in src/openai/_models.py

⏱️ Runtime : 18.6 milliseconds → 16.6 milliseconds (best of 30 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup through several key performance optimizations:

1. Fast-path optimization for common types
The most significant improvement comes from moving float, datetime, and date type checks to the top of the function, before expensive union processing. The profiler shows these are frequently hit paths:

• Float coercion: 68.0% faster in many test cases
• Date parsing: 20-41% faster for date/datetime operations
• This reordering allows immediate returns for common cases, avoiding costly downstream checks

2. Function lookup caching
Local aliases are created for frequently called functions (isunion = is_union, isdict = is_mapping, etc.) to eliminate repeated global lookups. While this adds ~7 assignment operations per call, it reduces attribute access overhead in the hot paths that follow.

3. Micro-optimizations in dict processing

• Unpacks key_type, items_type = args directly instead of using get_args(type_)[1]
• Caches construct = construct_type before the comprehension to avoid repeated lookups
• These changes show small but measurable improvements in dict-heavy workloads

4. Optimized for common workloads
The test results show the optimizations are most effective for:

• Numeric coercion scenarios (float from int): 65-68% faster
• Date/datetime parsing: 14-41% faster
• Large collections of dates/datetimes: 27-41% faster

The optimizations perform best on data with many numeric types, dates, or large collections, while showing minimal regression on simpler types like strings and basic collections.
