⚡️ Speed up method _Sum.__call__ by 23%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 23% (0.23x) speedup for _Sum.__call__ in src/titiler/core/titiler/core/algorithm/math.py

⏱️ Runtime : 517 microseconds → 422 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces the blanket use of numpy.ma.sum() with conditional array type checking to avoid the overhead of masked array operations when they're unnecessary.

Key changes:

1. Caches array reference (arr = img.array) to avoid repeated attribute access
2. Type-specific sum operations:
   • For MaskedArray with no actual masked values: uses arr.data.sum() directly on the underlying data
   • For regular ndarray: uses native .sum() method
   • Only falls back to numpy.ma.sum() when masking is actually present

Why this is faster:

• numpy.ma.sum() always performs mask checking and special handling even when no values are masked, adding significant overhead (79.1% of original runtime)
• Direct array .sum() operations bypass this overhead entirely
• The optimized version reduces sum operation time from ~2.09ms to ~0.68ms (67% reduction in sum operation time)

Performance by test case:

• Best gains (29-34% faster): Regular arrays and simple cases benefit most from bypassing masked array overhead
• Masked arrays with actual masks show slight slowdown (4.4%) due to added type checking, but this preserves correctness
• Large arrays still see 14-26% improvements, indicating the optimization scales well

The optimization is particularly effective because most real-world image data uses MaskedArray containers for consistency but often contains no actual masked values, making the masked array overhead pure waste.
