⚡️ Speed up function get_dependency_query_params by 14%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for get_dependency_query_params in src/titiler/core/titiler/core/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 10.5 milliseconds → 9.20 milliseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization implements function-level caching for the expensive get_dependant() call. The key insight is that get_dependant(path="", call=dependency) performs complex introspection on the dependency callable, but this result is deterministic and can be cached.

Key changes:

• Added a function attribute _dependant_cache dictionary to cache get_dependant() results keyed by the dependency callable
• Cache check before calling get_dependant(), only computing when not cached
• Cache storage after computation for future calls

Why this speeds up the code:
The line profiler shows get_dependant() consumes 52.1% of execution time in the original code (24.9ms out of 47.8ms total). In the optimized version, this drops to 49.6% but with fewer actual calls (26 vs 29 hits), indicating cache hits are avoiding expensive computations. The per-hit cost remains similar (~860μs), confirming the optimization works by reducing call frequency rather than making individual calls faster.

Performance impact based on usage patterns:
From the function references, this function is called in two key scenarios:

1. deserialize_query_params() - single dependency processing
2. extract_query_params() - iterating over multiple dependencies in a loop

The loop usage in extract_query_params() makes this optimization particularly valuable, as the same dependencies are likely processed repeatedly across requests. The test results show consistent 1-5% improvements across various parameter scenarios, with larger gains for complex dependencies.

Best performance gains occur when:

• The same dependency callable is processed multiple times (common in web request handling)
• Dependencies have complex signatures requiring expensive introspection
• Applications process many similar requests with the same endpoint dependencies
