📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for _NamedVectors.text2vec_gpt4all in weaviate/collections/classes/config_named_vectors.py

⏱️ Runtime : 323 microseconds 308 microseconds (best of 37 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 5% speedup by making two key micro-optimizations:

1. Pre-construction of vectorizer object: The original code constructs _Text2VecGPT4AllConfig directly within the function call arguments, which adds overhead during argument processing. The optimized version creates the vectorizer in a separate variable first, reducing the complexity of the function call and improving parameter passing efficiency.

2. Reduced function call overhead: By separating object construction from the return statement, Python's interpreter can handle the _NamedVectorConfigCreate constructor call more efficiently, avoiding nested object instantiation within keyword arguments.

Performance characteristics from test results:

  • The optimization provides consistent 3-11% improvements across all test cases
  • Most effective for edge cases with special characters (11% faster) and duplicate properties (10% faster)
  • Still beneficial for large-scale scenarios with 1000+ properties (3-7% faster)
  • Minimal overhead cases like simple string names still see 6-8% improvements

The line profiler shows the time spent on vectorizer construction (38.9% → 42.2% of total time) is now separated from the return statement overhead (54.2% → 51.5%), leading to more predictable execution patterns and reduced Python bytecode complexity during function calls.
