📄 41% (0.41x) speedup for update_openapi in src/titiler/core/titiler/core/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 77.1 microseconds 54.5 microseconds (best of 9 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 41% speedup by replacing the next() generator expression with an explicit for loop.

Key optimization:

  • Eliminated generator overhead: The original code uses next(route for route in app.router.routes if route.path == app.openapi_url) which creates a generator object and involves Python's generator machinery. The optimized version uses a simple for loop with early termination via break, avoiding the generator creation and iteration overhead.

Why this works:

  • Generator expressions in Python have overhead for creation and the next() function call
  • A direct for loop with break is more efficient for finding the first matching item
  • The loop avoids the intermediate generator object allocation
  • Early termination with break ensures we don't iterate through remaining routes unnecessarily

Performance characteristics:

  • Best case: When the OpenAPI route is found early in the routes list (63-68% faster in large-scale tests)
  • Consistent improvement: Shows 30-50% speedup across all test scenarios
  • Scales well: Larger route collections see greater benefits (up to 68% improvement with 1000 routes)

The optimization maintains identical behavior including raising StopIteration when no matching route is found, making it a drop-in replacement with pure performance benefits. This is particularly valuable for applications with many routes where the OpenAPI endpoint setup happens during application initialization.
