📄 20% (0.20x) speedup for ObjectDetectionEvalProcessor._parse_page_dimensions in unstructured/metrics/object_detection.py

⏱️ Runtime : 266 microseconds 221 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces manual loop-based list construction with list comprehensions, resulting in a 19% speedup from 266μs to 221μs.

Key Changes:

  • Eliminated explicit loops: Replaced the for loop with .append() calls with two list comprehensions
  • Reduced function calls: Instead of ~3000+ individual append() operations (as shown in profiler), the comprehensions perform bulk list construction internally

Why This is Faster:
List comprehensions in Python are optimized at the C level and avoid the overhead of:

  1. Repeated method lookups for .append()
  2. Individual function call overhead for each append operation
  3. Intermediate list resizing operations

The profiler shows the original code spent 75% of its time (35.8% + 39.1%) in the two append operations across thousands of iterations. The optimized version consolidates this into two efficient bulk operations.

Performance Characteristics:

  • Small datasets (1-10 pages): Minimal impact, sometimes slightly slower due to comprehension overhead
  • Large datasets (500+ pages): Significant gains - up to 27% faster as shown in the test_large_number_of_pages and test_mixed_types_large_scale test cases
  • All data types preserved: Works identically with integers, floats, strings, and mixed types

This optimization is particularly valuable for document processing workflows that handle multi-page documents, where the function may be called frequently with varying page counts.

Codeflash Static Badge

The optimization replaces manual loop-based list construction with list comprehensions, resulting in a **19% speedup** from 266μs to 221μs.

**Key Changes:**
- **Eliminated explicit loops**: Replaced the `for` loop with `.append()` calls with two list comprehensions
- **Reduced function calls**: Instead of ~3000+ individual `append()` operations (as shown in profiler), the comprehensions perform bulk list construction internally

**Why This is Faster:**
List comprehensions in Python are optimized at the C level and avoid the overhead of:
1. Repeated method lookups for `.append()`
2. Individual function call overhead for each append operation
3. Intermediate list resizing operations

The profiler shows the original code spent 75% of its time (35.8% + 39.1%) in the two append operations across thousands of iterations. The optimized version consolidates this into two efficient bulk operations.

**Performance Characteristics:**
- **Small datasets** (1-10 pages): Minimal impact, sometimes slightly slower due to comprehension overhead
- **Large datasets** (500+ pages): Significant gains - up to 27% faster as shown in the `test_large_number_of_pages` and `test_mixed_types_large_scale` test cases
- **All data types preserved**: Works identically with integers, floats, strings, and mixed types

This optimization is particularly valuable for document processing workflows that handle multi-page documents, where the function may be called frequently with varying page counts.
