⚡️ Speed up method _VectorIndex.dynamic by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for _VectorIndex.dynamic in weaviate/collections/classes/config_vector_index.py

⏱️ Runtime : 62.0 microseconds → 57.7 microseconds (best of 57 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization introduces a local variable assignment to cache the class reference before instantiation. By assigning _VectorIndexConfigDynamicCreate to the local variable cls, the optimized version reduces the overhead of repeated global namespace lookups during constructor calls.

Key optimization:

• Local variable caching: cls = _VectorIndexConfigDynamicCreate stores the class reference locally, then uses cls(...) instead of the full class name.

Why this improves performance:
In Python, accessing global names (like class constructors) involves namespace lookup overhead. By storing the class reference in a local variable, subsequent access becomes a faster local variable lookup rather than a global namespace search. This is particularly effective for functions that are called frequently, as demonstrated by the 7% speedup (62.0μs → 57.7μs).

Test case performance:
The optimization shows consistent improvements across different parameter combinations:

• Large threshold values: 10.4% faster (10.2μs → 9.21μs)
• None parameters: 9.17% faster (10.1μs → 9.21μs)

This optimization is most beneficial for high-frequency method calls or when this function is part of a performance-critical path, as the cumulative savings from reduced namespace lookups compound over many invocations.
