⚡️ Speed up function component_or_layout_class by 63%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 63% (0.63x) speedup for component_or_layout_class in gradio/utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 38.5 milliseconds → 23.6 milliseconds (best of 39 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 63% speedup by applying two key performance improvements:

1. LRU Caching (@lru_cache(maxsize=1) on get_all_components)
The most significant optimization is caching the expensive component hierarchy traversal. The original code repeatedly walks through all Gradio component subclasses on every call to component_or_layout_class. With caching, this traversal only happens once and subsequent calls return the cached result instantly. The profiler shows this reduces the cost of get_all_components() from being called 1,190 times to effectively once, eliminating the 64.9% of total runtime spent on component discovery.

2. Local Variable Optimization in Hot Loop
The second optimization uses local variables (comp_type = type, comp_cls = Component, issub = issubclass) to avoid repeated global lookups in the tight loop that processes component aliases. This reduces function call overhead in the loop that runs ~145K iterations, improving the loop performance by avoiding dictionary lookups for built-in functions.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

• Valid component lookups show 50-57% speedup (e.g., "textbox": 65.1μs → 41.6μs)
• Invalid component lookups show 48-58% speedup (e.g., unknown names: 59.3μs → 39.9μs)
• Large-scale tests benefit significantly due to the caching effect

Hot Path Analysis:
Based on the function references, component_or_layout_class is called from Blocks.from_config() during component deserialization, which is a critical path for loading Gradio interfaces. The optimization is particularly valuable here since loading configurations often involves multiple component lookups, and the caching ensures the expensive hierarchy traversal only happens once per application startup rather than per component.

The optimization maintains identical behavior while dramatically reducing redundant computation, making it especially beneficial for applications that frequently instantiate components or load configurations.
