📄 15% (0.15x) speedup for Algorithms.get in src/titiler/core/titiler/core/algorithm/__init__.py

⏱️ Runtime : 453 microseconds 394 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

This optimization replaces the "look-before-you-leap" (LBYL) pattern with "easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" (EAFP), which is more Pythonic and performant.

Key optimization: The original code performs two dictionary lookups - first name not in self.data to check existence, then self.data[name] to retrieve the value. The optimized version uses try/except to perform only one lookup in the success case.

Why it's faster: Dictionary lookups involve hash computation and collision handling. By eliminating the redundant membership test, we reduce CPU cycles and improve cache locality. The line profiler shows the total time decreased from 1.20ms to 1.03ms (14% speedup).

Performance characteristics:

  • Success cases (majority): Significant speedup (5-101% faster across test cases) because only one hash lookup occurs
  • Failure cases (KeyError): Slight slowdown (22-47% slower) due to exception handling overhead, but this is typically the minority case
  • Large scale workloads: 17-20% improvement when processing many successful lookups

Impact on workloads: This optimization is particularly beneficial for code paths where the algorithm name is expected to exist most of the time (happy path optimization). The test results show consistent improvements for valid lookups across different data sizes, making this especially valuable if this method is called frequently in algorithm resolution workflows.

The behavior remains identical - same KeyError message and type signature are preserved.
