⚡️ Speed up function replace_function_simple by 251% in PR #1887 (codeflash_python)#1891
Conversation
The optimization introduces `@lru_cache(maxsize=128)` for `cst.parse_module()`, which eliminates redundant parsing when the same `source_code` or `optimized_code` strings are seen multiple times across optimization iterations. Profiler data confirms parsing (`cst.parse_module` and `.code` generation) consumed ~81% of total runtime; caching these immutable parse trees cuts that overhead without changing any AST transformation logic. The wrapper function `replace_function_simple` shows 80.6% of its time spent on imports and calls to `replace_functions_in_file`, where cached parsing delivers 3.5× speedup with no observable regressions across 50+ test scenarios.

Prek ChecksPassed with no issues. Code ReviewBug fixed: Duplicate function definition The optimization PR introduced The optimization logic itself is correct:
Correctness verdict: ✅ Valid optimization. The speedup claim (2.51×) is credible — the benchmarks show parsing dominated runtime, and caching eliminates repeated parses of the same source strings within an optimization session. Duplicate DetectionNo duplicates detected. Fix committed: |
