The optimized code achieves a **72% speedup** (from 30.1ms to 17.5ms) through two key optimizations: ## What Changed ### 1. Single-Pass AST Traversal (Major Optimization) The original code made **multiple passes** over the AST: - `ast.walk(tree)` to collect imports (88.4% of `_collect_numerical_imports` time) - Separate iteration through `tree.body` to find the function The optimized version **combines both operations** in `_collect_imports_and_find_function`, traversing `tree.body` only once to both collect imports and locate the target function. ### 2. Early-Exit Visitor Pattern The `NumericalUsageChecker` class now implements `visit_Name` and `visit_Attribute` methods: - **Short-circuits traversal** once numerical usage is detected (`if self.found_numerical: return`) - Avoids visiting remaining AST nodes after finding the first numerical reference - The original implementation had no visitor methods, so it traversed the entire function body even after finding numerical usage ## Why This Is Faster **AST traversal cost**: The line profiler shows `ast.walk(tree)` consumed 88.4% of `_collect_numerical_imports` time in the original code. Eliminating this expensive full-tree walk and replacing it with a targeted single pass through `tree.body` dramatically reduces overhead. **Short-circuit benefits**: Test results show the optimization is most effective on large codebases: - `test_large_scale_many_lines_and_imports_performance_and_correctness`: **84.1% faster** (5.87ms → 3.19ms) - `test_large_code_file_with_many_functions`: **106-111% faster** (1.6ms → 0.76ms) - `test_many_function_definitions`: **96-98% faster** (2.3ms → 1.2ms) For simple cases, gains are more modest (35-45% faster) due to smaller AST sizes and less traversal overhead. ## Impact on Workloads This optimization is particularly valuable for: - **Code analysis tools** scanning large Python files with many imports and functions - **Static analysis pipelines** that need to classify functions rapidly - **Hot paths** where `is_numerical_code` is called repeatedly on different functions in the same file (the `ast.parse` cost remains, but subsequent operations are much faster) The optimization maintains correctness across all test cases while providing consistent speedups, especially for real-world codebases with hundreds of lines and dozens of imports.
